The code you need exists in DOMBuilder; with 10 minutes of coding you
can modify it to do what you want in your own builder class.

Your question makes me think maybe DOMBuilder should have a public
method that builds a JDOM Element from a DOM Element.  

public Element build(org.w3c.dom.Element el)

We shouldn't build a doc from an element, but a user could add the new
element as the root of a new doc easily enough.  Any objections?
