Don't try to detect it. Instead, assume it always happens, and collect
the strings in characters(), rather than processing them. Do something
like this

   def startElement(self, ...):
       self.chardata = ""

   def characters(self, data):
       self.chardata += data

   def endElement(self, ...):
       process(self.chardata)

This is simplified - you might have to deal with nested elements,
somehow.
