JDOM already has some of this:

 org.jdom.output.SAXOutputter (shredder + writer)
 http://cvs.jdom.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/jdom/src/java/

 samples.sax.XMLWriter plus some filter implementations
 http://cvs.jdom.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/jdom/samples/sax/

By the way, samples.sax.XMLWriter was derived from Megginson's XMLWriter
(ver 0.2).  Our version includes a couple of bug fixes and a different class
hierarchy than Megginson's original version.


The most complete XMLWriter I know of is Dave Brownell's
gnu.xml.util.XMLWriter

 http://www.gnu.org/software/classpathx/jaxp/
 http://www.gnu.org/software/classpathx/jaxp/apidoc/index.html
 http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/classpathx/jaxp/source/


James Strachan's org.dom4j.io.XMLWriter is also worthy of mention:

 http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/dom4j/dom4j/src/java/
