IIRC expat explicitly does not guarantee that character data will be
handed to the CharacterDataHandler in complete blocks. If you're
certain you want to stay at such a low level, I would just modify your
char_data method to append character data to self.current_data rather
than replacing it. Personally, if I had the option (e.g. Python 2.5+)
I'd use ElementTree...
