It seems to me that the simplest fix would be to define
OutputDocumentHandler to support both

        startElement(String name,AttributeList atts)
and     startElement(Name   name,AttributeList atts)

the latter can always be given the default definition:

        public void startElement(Name name,AttributeList atts)
        {
          startElement(name.getPrefix()+":"+getLocalPart(),atts);
        }

or something like this.
