Just FYI, it's in the 2.1.0 source. Sorry I neglected to mention that the
first time.

Subject: Re: getDOMHelper() confusion


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.
