    Use SAX to build the AST. The DOM builder
   (the real DOM builder, not our quasi-DOM builder) receives SAX
   events when it builds the DOM. The compiler.Parser class could
   possible receive these SAX events directly, and thereby eliminating
   the need for a DOM (saves loads of time and memory).

      Consider building a DOM-2-'DOM' converter, perhaps by adding 
      a second DOM builder inner class to our DOM. Then we would have 
      one SAX DOM builder and one DOM DOM builder. I don't know if
      JAXP lets you supply the stylesheet as a DOM. If it doesn't, 
      we should assign this task a very low priority. There is no
      point in spending a lot of time on this if JAXP users will 
      never be able to use this functionality.
