I tried it out using xercesJ-2.2.0. To be fair the doc for the class does
state its is experimental....
public org.w3c.dom.Node renameNode(org.w3c.dom.Node�n,
java.lang.String�namespaceURI,
java.lang.String�name)
throws org.w3c.dom.DOMException
DOM Level 3 WD - Experimental. Renaming node

Then the question becomes: does the version of Xerces that this gentleman
is
using conform to the DOM 3 proposal?

That's been true in past versions of the DOM. (Justification: Some DOMs
subclass may nodes differently based on their type; consider the HTML DOM
as an example.)
DOM Level 3 is proposing allowing (not requiring) some (not all) DOMs to
relax this, via the renameNode operation. In DOMs which don't allow
renaming, renameNode _replaces_ the node with a new on having the new
name. See the current Working Draft for details:
