I think we're all looking for a solution to the problem that
a >1Mb document is too big, we don't want to parse it every
time we want to look at it, but storing the fine-grained DOM
representation has the opposite problem, it takes too much
space and takes too long to reassemble a reasonable unit
like a page. Indexing the original serial XML (say at
"chapter" level) is one solution; it's essentially
equivalent to my approach, which has been to split the
original XML (say at "chapter" level) and store the
"chapters" as separate linked XML documents.

What I mean by "chapter" is typically 1-10Kb, or
alternatively, a chunk of text such that the user doesn't
mind pressing "Next" when he's got to the end of it.
