I'm a little forgotten now :) but looking at DocumentBuilder one can see that 
it is made to parse a document from the beggining until the end. The nodes 
are added as child of the current node on the stack (Q3PtrStack<NodeImpl> 
nodes) which is private. If we could pass the parent node (of some area we 
want to build) as the current node on the stack and feed the builder with 
some portion it would work I guess.
I don't know if kdom people are willing to make that change though.

I like you! :)
