FWIW you can pass a List of Nodes into the write() method of XMLWriter. > Also, in my application I need to manipulate Document and DocumentFragment > objects through a common interface, which could be Branch, for example. You could always use Object and test for either List or Node. Much of the Jaxen code does similar things. I'm just being devil's advocate here just trying to determine how useful a DocumentFragment would be. It could well be that a DocumentFragment interface and default implementation may make sense.
