Brion --
You must be looking at some old code because I couldn't find that line.
All I can find is a reference to the now static method createDocument()
in the DOMHelper class. I believe that this is here only temporarily as
we transition away from some of the old interfaces. In any event, it is
only used to handle the case where a DOMResult is passed in with a null
node, an unlikely occurrence.
Please feel free to add this into bugzilla if you'd like.
