Hi Larry!

Can you humor me and explain what you're talking about here in that you're 
probably the first person that I've heard advocate DOM over SAX 
processing.  [Mainly due to speed].  I don't think you're saying it for 
convenience sake, so I'm really curious!! ;)

I was actually thinking about using Commons-digester to read in the 
appropriate information.  Which I guess would have similar ramifications as 
what you just described.

Anyway, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.  Thanks!
