Did you look at using the <CFXML> tag to turn the results of that into a
new document?
I'm not 100% sure the syntax below is correct, but the principle should
work.
<cfset nodeArray = xmlSearch(someDoc,someExpression)>
<cfxml variable="newDoc">
<article>
<cfloop from="1" to="#arrayLen(nodeArray)#" index="i">
#nodeArray[i].toString()#
</cfloop>
</article>
</cfxml>

I put together the following code and it works, but it just feels a kludge to me. It's late in the day and I think I went down a weird path and now I am lost and can not see the forest for the trees. I did try the xmlSearch() function, but it does not return an XML object and I need the returned node to be a full XML object of its own.
