The system does seem a little too complex for our purposes and isn't usable
because of that.
Removing generics would be the first step IMO as there are too many
rawtypes definitions which indicate generics are being used badly.
ContentExtractor may be able to be completely removed instead of being
refitted into the process after that and the parser should always be set to
parse as far as practical for our purposes.
It is a little strange that there isn't a buffered, markable, InputStream
provided for all of the steps to reuse as necessary rather than pushing a raw
InputStream or other source into different extractors.
