Exactly.  If you are using Java (as I suppose you are), then you should
consider XOM (http://www.cafeconleche.org/XOM), which by default
produces a DOM-style tree (but modified to be much more convenient for
Java programmers), but allows you to write a subclass of its Builder
class that lets you specify which elements you want to incorporate in
the tree, process separately (as soon as the element is complete), or discard
altogether.

XOM has a mailing list: see http://lists.ibiblio.og/mailman/listinfo/xom-interest.
