Although you know the element contains a single string of character data,
'Shipping Address (< 31)', a parser, acting on the lexical constructs it
encounters, is likely, though not required, to report this as 3 calls to
characters() in the case of SAX, or as 3 adjacent text nodes in the case of
DOM. This is normal behavior. In SAX you just have to live with it. In DOM you
may have the option of normalizing the text beforehand; check the DOM specs
and docs for your parser.
