For you maybe, but nothing keeps an XML document from having text entries of a couple of megabytes, possibly separated by entity references. Aggregating all that in memory could be quite expensive, so it's a good design choice not to require that in the parser. > this add a bit of complexity to the text processing. Not that much. The usual pattern is: append text content to a list and join it when you see something that's not text. That works very well unless your strings are really long.
