XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Wolfgang Hoschek <Wolfgang.Hoschek AT cern.ch>]

Hi folks,

What's the reason the DOMConverter.convert(xyz) methods are private?
It would be handy for my app to be able to convert a DOM element into a 
XOM element, without going through the trouble of making new documents 
and passing them to the public methods that work on entire documents.

    private static Element convert(org.w3c.dom.Element element) {

-->

    public static Element convert(org.w3c.dom.Element element) {

Any insight?
Wolfgang.
