Is it a Bug in Java XML JAXP?!

Question

i have a sample XML file
==========================
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<aaa>
     <bbb>
          <ccc>
               Hi All
          </ccc>
     </bbb>
</aaa>
<?execute.somecde?>
When transofrming the DOMSource to XML StreamResult by using:
1- DOMSource source = new DOMSource(document);
every thing goes OK and the output is tha same as the XML file.
2- DOMSource source = new DOMSource(node);//ccc node for example
the result is Same a the XML file, i think i should see this:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<ccc>
     Hi All
</ccc>
the Question is "am i right? or not?, shall i see the previous XML or not"
Here is the sample code i use if you want, it works fine with no error under
J2SE version 1.4.0 released on 17/02/2002, which contais latest XML parsers.
i made this code from "The JavaTM Web Services Tutorial"
page: <WSDP_HOME>/docs/tutorial/doc/JAXPXSLT3.html#64649
Topic: "Writing Out a Subtree of the DOM"
===============================================
import ...//all imports come here
public class DOM_1 {
public static void main (String args[]) {
DOM_1 handler = new DOM_1();
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
try {
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
org.w3c.dom.Document document = builder.parse(new File("D:\\XML.xml"));
TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer();
org.w3c.dom.NodeList list = document.getElementsByTagName("ccc");
org.w3c.dom.Node node = list.item(0);
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(document);
//DOMSource source = new DOMSource(node);
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(System.out);
//StreamResult result = new StreamResult(new FileOutputStream(new
File("D:\\XML_1.xml")));
transformer.transform(source, result);
} catch (Exception x) {
x.printStackTrace();
thanks alot.

I hope you test the code to see if this problem exists on your java platform or it is in my side only.
