[issue38011] xml.dom.pulldom splits text data at buffer size when parsing from file

[Stefan Behnel]

Stefan Behnel <stefan_ml at behnel.de> added the comment:

I don't see anything inherently wrong with having multiple text nodes.

In fact, input with very large text content can be considered a security threat (c.f. compression bombs), so a tool like pulldom (which is designed for incremental processing) should not start collecting more content than the user asked for. Getting multiple text nodes in some cases seems an ok-ish price to pay.

A documentation PR is welcome.
