Well, that might depend on the job of the filter. You may want to use a filter to prune out the parts of the document you are not interested in BEFORE the DOM is built. In general, I see several places where you might want to use a filter: o Transform events from a parser into something to be output. o Transform events from a parser before being accessed by an application. o Between a parser and the DOM. o Transform events from a DOM walker into something to be output. Note that in the last case, if the DOM walker shares its internal state (position in the DOM tree) with the filters that come after it (using something like MDSAX), we get a lot of XSL-like capabilities.
