Make the final methods in HTML DOM not finals.

           Summary: Make the final methods in HTML DOM not finals.
           Product: Xerces2-J
           Version: 2.0.1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: DOM
        AssignedTo: xerces-j-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: gnuehcsc@yahoo.com


For examples these 2 methods are final in HTMLElementImpl 
public final NodeList getElementsByTagName( String tagName )
public final NodeList getElementsByTagNameNS( String namespaceURI,
					          String localName )

By marking these methods, I can't over-ride these methods when I need to. And I 
need to do that if I need to integrate the DOM with javaScript engine (Rhino), 
since NodeList are not "Scriptable" (Rhino). If these methods are not final, I 
can inherit these methods and put a wrapper around the NodeList of the return 
value.
