How to clone a Node and assign a new name





------- Additional Comments From keshlam@us.ibm.com  2003-04-03 14:27 -------
In DOM Level 1 and  2, nodes may not be renamed. Create a new node with the 
appropriate name, and copy the other content to it.

DOM Level 3 (currently under development, may or may not yet be prototyped in 
Xalan) adds the method renameNode... but you should read the description of that 
method carefully, as not all DOMs can support renaming an existing node object 
and the method may have to create a new one.

Given the workaround, and given the new DOM method in the pipe, I think this 
request is pretty well covered...
