dom to sax conversion

The reverse conversion is also very valuable. I wonder how it would
work with SAX/DOM?

Explanation:
When processing large documents building entire trees is
resource intensive and time consuming. Sometimes you only
the power of tree navigation stuff for sub-parts of the
source document.

I find it very useful to start out processing events and then switch
into tree building for branches of the source document. I have a way of doing
this in a Python based SGML toolkit (LumberJack) that I have hacked up and
find
it really really useful. I wonder how it would work with the SAX/DOM
standards. FWIW, here is how it looks in my stuff (pseudo Python):--

def TABLE_HANDLER
	# Hit a table element - need a tree to process these things
	if start of table:
		EventSource.RollBack() # Roll back the start event
		TableTree = TreeBuilder (EventSource)

def FOO_HANDLER
	Other event handling functions here
