Subj : the XML object in E4X

Of what Java classtype underlies the E4X "XML" object in Rhino? For 
example: I have a DOM4J document tree that I am appending to using 
various "actions" (SQL, JavaScript, etc...) and I have to currently 
create my own, Rhino-specific DOM to use the E4X conventions against, 
then write a special method that turns that XML into a string and 
inserts it into the DOM4J tree.

Assuming that the XML object represents a W3C Document object, I could 
do the conversion and "declareBean" (I use BSF) on *that* object--and do 
the insertion into the DOM4J tree--in my Java code and skip having to do 
it in JavaScript.

What do you folks think? What's the best way to go about this?
