Hello,

NodeFactory provides a very convenient mechanism for building documents
using application-specific subclasses of Element. Two Element/Node methods
which I'd like to override to create usable subclasses, detach() and copy(),
are currently declared final. Is there any possibility that these can be
changed to non-final in a future release?


You're going to have to provide a convincing use-case for that if you want me to consider it.
