Nonetheless, the information that Wolfgang is sharing could be helpful to someone converting DOM. That is why some technical committees create a FAQ as a place for things like this to go. If it doesn't wind up in the language, it still has a useful place to live.

This is way outside the bounds for the XOM FAQ. Any programmer using DOM knows how to create a DOMImplementation object that is appropriate for their needs. Anybody who's not using DOM does not need to know this. Yes, DOM is weird. If that really bothers you replace your DOM system with a XOM system, but I'm not going to add complexity to any part of XOM to provide convenience methods DOM doesn't.
