Relying upon preservation of the source input stream's peculiarities simply doesn't constitute a "robust" usage - or expectation of - XML. The XML you'd get out the other side of a SAX-level filter would still produce the same results if re-parsed¹, so why impose this syntactic preservation requirement?
