I just wanted to report that I've tried TagSoup and at first glance it seems to be doing exactly what I want - this is great! Instead of using a SAXParserFactory I'm now using the SAXFactoryImpl class in TagSoup to instantiate a new SAXParser. I will need to look it over a bit more but it just parsed through a copyright symbol without any complaints!!
