I checked and there are escape sequences in there. If it was ever
debatable, I think that tips it in favor of SAX. xerces? The
contrib/gdata stuff seems to use it.

I suppose if I'm careful and creative enough, we could share a lot of
the code amongst benchmark ingesters that use XML, should there be more
...

Personally, I think SAX is the way to go, as you'll get handling of  
escape sequences, etc. out of the box.  And seems like it is easier  
to read/maintain????
