My XML doesn't get within 100 miles of a DTD. If I care to validate I use
schema. The chunks that I find are very well formed XML due to a priori
knowledge of the xml structure I'm parsing. They look like:
<myRoot>
<info>
</info>
<record>...</record>
<record>...</record>
<record>...</record>
<record>...</record>
<record>...</record>
... 500 MB later ...
<record>...</record>
</myRoot>
I'm shredding this document into n record sub-documents. The faster I can
do that the faster I can get my cluster of <record> processing servers
working.
