If you mean a TreeList, you should build a NodeTree (which extends
TreeList) instead.

That should probably work, though ConsumeSAXHandler hasn't been
tested much, and may be a bit incomplete.

You should wrap the NodeTree in a KDocument or other KNode,
as in gnu.kawa.xml.Document.parse(Object).

I think so.  It's supposed to ...

Depends on what you're actual needs are.  If you have existin SAX
inputs and outputs, this is probably the best way to handle it.
