Create an Element node

Parameters:

parent - The parent element

nameCode - The element name

typeCode -

attlist - The attribute collection, excluding any namespace attributes

namespaces - List of new namespace declarations for this element, as a sequence of namespace codes representing pairs of strings: (prefix1, uri1), (prefix2, uri2)...

namespacesUsed - the number of elemnts of the namespaces array actually used

pipe - The pipeline configuration (provides access to the error listener and the location provider)

locationId - Indicates the source document and line number containing the node

sequenceNumber - Sequence number to be assigned to represent document order.
