Ahh, I see.  In this sense I suppose it is a parser.  I suppose I just was not sure
what you meant at first.  In this case you have a DOMSAX for better lack of a term.  I
can see how this would be useful to apps that build a DOM tree straight out of a
database and then need to have the data be sent into some XML framework without having
to first write the contents of the DOM tree out to a stream and then read it in the
output as input into a SAX compliant parser.
