Huh - I guess it could be useful. I still think this should be an option you could set with xml_parser_set_option(), or something.
In case anyone is interested, I solved the problem by creating a new global variable, $previousTag. Each time my character parsing function is called, it compares the previous tag to the current tag. If they are the same, the data gets stuffed into a buffer; if they are different, the buffer is returned, cleared, and the new data stuffed into it...and $previousTag is set to the current tag.
