Any old document object will do; it doesn't need to be related to the
document object representing the input or output data.

So just use the normal mechanism for instantiating a Document object.
You can do this each time you need to create a new node, or (more
efficiently) store a Document object somewhere convenient (perhaps as a
singleton) for repeated use as a factory for objects.
