That's a very nice approach for generating and persisting what amounts
to pre-parsed documents. If you were to transmit the token descriptor
data structures along with the XML document it'd pretty much eliminate
parsing for the receiver, but would apparently about double the document
size on average. The really nice use for this type of approach is as an
alternative to an object model composed of separate objects per
component, though.
Unfortunately it doesn't fit very well with either a StAX or DOM-like
API, because those use Strings (almost) everywhere. It'd work much
better in combination with a CharSequence-based API.
