/**
 * A rule implementation that creates a DOM {@link 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 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 Document Document}, it must be imported first, using the Document method
 * {@link Document#importNode(Node, boolean) importNode()}.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * <strong>Important Note:</strong> This is implemented by replacing the SAX {@link 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>
