FWIW, I have 3 SAX filters for dealing with ws on input (trim, normalize,
and trim full white) that I need to finish and test.  After that they can
be thrown in contrib. I also have one for buffering text that I want to see
if it's slower. same, or faster than doing it in SAXHandler. Just need time :)
