is telling me the document itself is valid, but the SAX parser is
splitting the value at every "&"
~
// __ start element iIxLvl: |3|Location
// __ start characters iIxLvl: |3|http://pagesinxt.com/?dn=www.outfo.org|
// __ start characters iIxLvl: |3|&|
// __ start characters iIxLvl: |3|flrdr=yes|
// __ start characters iIxLvl: |3|&|
// __ start characters iIxLvl: |3|nxte=zip|
// __ end element iIxLvl: |2|Location|

I forgot to mention one thing: the SAX parser is quite free to hand over character sequences in any number of chunks as long as it maintains original order from the document and ensures all characters come from the same external entity. See:
