/**
 * A rule implementation that creates a DOM
 * {@link org.w3c.dom.Node Node} containing the XML at the element that matched
 * the rule. Two concrete types of nodes can be created by this rule:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>the default is to create an {@link org.w3c.dom.Element Element} node.
 *   The created element will correspond to the element that matched the rule,
 *   containing all XML content underneath that element.</li>
 *   <li>alternatively, this rule can create nodes of type
 *   {@link org.w3c.dom.DocumentFragment DocumentFragment}, which will contain
 *   only the XML content under the element the rule was trigged on.</li>
 * </ul>
 * The created node will be normalized, meaning it will not contain text nodes 
 * that only contain white space characters.
 * 
    
 * 
 * <p>The created <code>Node</code> will be pushed on Digester's object stack
 * when done. To use it in the context of another DOM
 * {@link org.w3c.dom.Document Document}, it must be imported first, using the
 * Document method
 * {@link org.w3c.dom.Document#importNode(org.w3c.dom.Node, boolean) importNode()}.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p><strong>Important Note:</strong> This is implemented by replacing the SAX
 * {@link org.xml.sax.ContentHandler ContentHandler} in the parser used by 
 * Digester, and resetting it when the matched element is closed. As a side 
 * effect, rules that would match XML nodes under the element that matches 
 * a <code>NodeCreateRule</code> will never be triggered by Digester, which 
 * usually is the behavior one would expect.</p>
 * 
 * <p><strong>Note</strong> that the current implementation does not set the namespace prefixes
 * in the exported nodes. The (usually more important) namespace URIs are set,
 * of course.</p>
