That I couldn't tell you. Does MSXML even support SAX? In general
with standard Java SAX there is no specified limit, and theoretically
a parser with sufficient memory should be able to handle an attribute
value of up to approximately 2.1 billion characters (the maximum size
of a Java String) though I doubt any real VM could handle that
without choking. Maybe the experimental 64-bit VM on a system with a
a terabyte or so of virtual memory? You might hit such a limit if you
were trying to do something like stuffing a base-64 encoded movie in
an attribute value.
