The DOM API definitely has methods that allow you to alter the tree, when the nodes are not read-only. (See the DOM Recommendation for details.) The Xerces DOM should allow full editing. Xalan implements only a read-only subset of the DOM for its own data structures, since the XSLT data model is supposed to be immutable.
