Yes, that would acheive part of what I'm getting at, but not nearly enough.  You see I am
addressing several different performance problems with processing in Java at the same time so
the solution is a bit more holistic.

In concept, what I'm getting at is close to using a serialization of a DOM tree, however the
point is to avoid any transformations (even deserialization/serialization) when possible but
still have a DOM/SAX or even JGL like access to the tree.
