SAX2/Java: Towards a final form

If you program the parser good enough to avoid reallocations
of the string object completely, maybe. But you would probably need to
build your own hashtable where you can feed in parts of your parsing
buffer.

Also, wrappers will definitely slow down. 

Thus, I would prefer required interning for namespaces only. 
Namespaces are usually long enough to make interning pay off, and
the null comparison that does not exist for other names
would be solved.
