I thought about using DOM, until I considered the size of the input files.  If
there was a way to position the file so that you could essentially read
documents out of the file this would work wonderfully.  Since DOM (as I
understand) will build the entire tree in memory, it makes processing
multi-megabyte files unadviseable.  Even given a system with a lot of memory
it is wrong to assume you have complete use of the system's memory.
