Summary: SAXContentHandler.characters() is buggy

Initial Comment:
First, the parameters of this method are named "ch",
"start" and "end".
"end is misleading it should be renamed to "count".

Second, the line

cdataText.append(new String(ch, start, end));

should be changed to 

cdataText.append(ch, start, end);

avoiding additional objects is what "StringBuffer" is for.

IMHO the "mergeAdjacentText" approach is buggy since 

http://www.saxproject.org/apidoc/org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html#characters(char[],%20int,%20int)

says the it "...may return all contiguous character
data in a single chunk, or they may split it into
several chunks."
Which means that dom4j will unknowingly create multiple
text nodes even if there is only one in the source XML,
because of the implementation of "org.xml.sax.XMLReader
" delivering large texts as chunks or buffer boundaries
for smaller texts.
