That would be my suggestion, if we could get rid of that NamespaceStack
param.

On a related note, DOMBuilder.build(domElement) returns a JDOM Element that
is still attached to its parent document. If you try to add it to your own
Document you get an error. I suspect that this is not what we want, right? I
think we should detach() it first.
