From looking at XML4J's source code (kudos, IBM) that the TXDocument,
TXElement, etc classes do actual copies of things. From observing the
behavior of Sun's Project X, since they don't supply source code
(raspberries, Sun) it looks like they don't. I guess I'll try
traversing the document and re-create it item by item. Thanks.
