Yes.

Should we consider using a different member variable type other than String?
I guess I am wondering about StringBuffer so that in SAXHandler.characters()
you could append rather than adding new text nodes if you were still in the
same contiguous block of characters.  I can't say how often this happens,
don't know if it's a good idea, but thought I'd throw it out there.  There
must be some reason that the large documents are taking proportionally so
much longer to build than the short ones.
