Any old document object will do; it doesn't need to be related to the document object representing the input or output data. So just use the normal mechanism for instantiating a Document object. You can do this each time you need to create a new node, or (more efficiently) store a Document object somewhere convenient (perhaps as a singleton) for repeated use as a factory for objects.
