SAX is free to split your character data up into multiple calls to the
characters() method.  SAX is also free to call startElement() when it has
successfully parsed the start tag and does not need to wait until/if it
sees a matching end tag.  These are both pragmatic decisions given that a
perfectly good XML document could be a start tag followed by megabytes of
character data followed by the matching end tag.  It would be unreasonable
for SAX to force implementations to buffer all of that data or for it to
force applications to wait until the entire document was check for balanced
tags before any data was available.
