I still have not received sufficient information to be sure, but I think 
his problem is that he has some Base-64 encoded content in his document 
that is so large the mere act of creating a single String from it is 
overflowing memory. SAX can break up such large chunks into multiple 
invocations to chars.  XOM does not do this. It assumes you have at 
least enough memory to hold a single node, and that may not be true here.
