After a quick glance at the grammar, I suspect that things would be simpler if a STRING was required to be quoted, rather than making the quotes optional.
Also, you can get ANTLR to strip off quotes for you e.g instead of: STRING: (CHARS)+ | '"' (CHARS| ' ')+ '"'; you would have: STRING: (CHARS)+ | '"'! (CHARS| ' ')+ '"'!; This would do away with the need for the text() method. Handling of QNames could also be simplified. I'll take a look at it tonight and see what I can come up with.
