XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Michael Kay <mike AT saxonica.com>]

I've found that my XOM builder class is creating children of the document 
node in the wrong order.

The arrival order is (PI, Comment, Element). On the tree they appear as 
(Element, PI, Comment). The reason is that when the document node is created, 
a fake element child is created, and when the real outermost element is 
encountered, this replaces the fake element and thus appears before the PI 
and Comment.

Any suggestions as to workaround? I can think of possible approaches, but 
none is simple, and all make adding the children of a document node very 
different from adding the children of an element node, which I would prefer 
to avoid.
