DOM vs JDOM



In their article Easy Java/XML integration with JDOM, Part 1 in JavaWorld, 
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-05-2000/jw-0518-jdom.htm
Hunter and McLaughlin say: "DOM represents a document tree fully held in
memory."
Is there anything inherent in the DOM interface that requires the document
to be held in memory? Why does the DOM interface require that a document be
fully held any more than the JDOM interface does?

Any insight appreciated.
thanks
