No problem.  In XOM, a node is not permanently bound to its document
the way a JDOM or DOM node is.  Just use removeChild to remove it from
its parent node, and appendChild or insertChild to add it to the new
parent node.

BTW, Elliotte, there's a mild doco bug in Node.copy; it says the copied node
is not part of any document, but this is false when copying a Document node.
