Thanks. I'll think abut it.

This is an accident, not a deliberate decision, and arguably it's a bug. 
I think I agree with you that XOMHandler is pretty well exposed now. 
However rather than expose it completely, I may close the hole that 
exposed this in the first place. If you do convince me there's a 
significant use case here, my suspicion is there should be a separate 
handler class in the nu.xom.converters package rather than exposing the 
one in the core.
