Oh, browsing the DOM specification for ideas I just found out that cxml
does not implement the DOMImplementation interface at all.

What you are looking for is DOMImplementation.createDocument(), right?

It just happens that cxml has a function called CREATE-DOCUMENT with
utterly different and less useful behaviour for historical reasons.  Not
sure why the test suite never caught that, but we claim to implement DOM
2 now, so I will fix that.

interface DOMImplementation {
[...]
  // Introduced in DOM Level 2:
  DocumentType       createDocumentType(in DOMString qualifiedName, 
                                        in DOMString publicId, 
                                        in DOMString systemId)
                                        raises(DOMException);
  // Introduced in DOM Level 2:
  Document           createDocument(in DOMString namespaceURI, 
                                    in DOMString qualifiedName, 
                                    in DocumentType doctype)
                                        raises(DOMException);
[...]
}
