Eventually I'll have to add some real tests. For children I'm 
starting with a capacity of 1, since that's what will be needed for 
the very <common>case</common> of an element that only contains text. 
When I get some real benchmarks I can adjust this.

So far I haven't been able to get my memory down enough to run the 
programs I want to run. This is with heap sizes of up to 768M which 
is absolutely obscene for the size of the documents I'm processing. I 
suspect a memory leak somewhere.

I'm investigating profiling tools to help me locate it. So far I've 
discovered JProbe is completely non-functional. Once I find something 
that actually works I may be able to track this down.
