If on top of the DOM you mean that you would would completely populate
the DOM, then build the corresponding objects, then I would tend to
disagree.  I have had good luck and performance restoring objects from a
large (>2MB) XML file responding to events from Expat.  If I first built
an in-memory representation and then processed the information, I don't
think that I could get nearly the same performance.  I would think an
object creation and link resolution layer on top of SAX would be
preferable.

p.s. I've downloaded the Sun XML Early Access, but I can only find
passing references to XML Beans.  Is there a specific document and/or
source file that clarify what they mean by XML Beans.  The two
alternative interpretation of the term that I have contemplated are:

1. Java Beans that modify the behavior of the parser
2. A serialization mechanism for Java Beans
