NullPointer Exception while transforming to DOM

Following code will cause NullPointer exception

DOMResult result = new DOMResult(domFactory.createDocumentFragment());
TransformerHandler ch = transformerFactory.newTransformerHandler();
ch.setResult(result);
ch.startElement(null, null, "qname",  new
org.xml.sax.helpers.AttributesImpl());
ch.endElement(null, null, "qname");


Adding startDocument/endDocument solves the problem: 

ch.startDocument(); 
ch.startElement(null, null, "qname",  new
org.xml.sax.helpers.AttributesImpl());
ch.endElement(null, null, "qname");
ch.endDocument();


but I do not think we should do it - transformer 
should be able to serialize document fragment should it?
