Nice idea.

OK. First comments....

Don't use com.sun.* packages but *standard* ones (javax.*, org.*) 
because I want Aramorph to be buildable on any JVM in order to keep my 
Savannah hosting :-)

Furthermore don't use DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl, just 
DocumentBuilderFactory : you shouldn't have access to the factory's 
underlying implementation*s* ;-)

In the SAX file, the compatibility tables ares build using... DOM.

When you process a string from the original dictionary, please give it 
as as a comment in the code (my fault if this has not been done earlier).

Nice work however,

Compare what can be compared. The code essentially deals with content 
transformation, *not* with XML generation. On a x Mb file, SAX is *much* 
quicker than DOM.

Definitely !

Feel free to ask.
