There are a lot of use cases where a client is only interested in the
plain text content of the document without any of the structuring
encoded in the XHTML SAX events generated by a parser. The
WriteOutContentHandler was designed to support those use cases as a
simple and fast way to translate the SAX event stream to a character
stream that only contains text from the parsed document.

You can use a standard SAX TransformerHandler if you want to serialize
the full generated XHTML document.
