The Xalan "DOM" is not a full implementation, and does not support full mutability. It can only be built in document order and nodes cannot be modified or moved once inserted, and the number of attributes element contains is fixed when creating the Element node. The best way to build an instance is through SAX2 events, but you can take a look at the source code in xml-xalan/c/src/xalanc/XalanSourceTree/XalanSourceTreeContentHandler.cpp to get an idea of how you can build it programmatically.
