I was thinking that document() should return the XML content of the
Body tag, but after digging a bit more I think it is unnecessary - as
the SOM class has all the needed methods: body, envelope, header, etc,
but there is the bug with attributes that is making them not useful.

It seems a bit redundant to serialize them, and then deserialize them,
but not such a big deal.

Again, fixing the attribute bugs would really solve this.

But doesn't this only affect the *client*? This is needed for the *server*.
