We shipped this functionality in the .NET framework and I use it all the time. Search for the string "InnerXml" in the text at http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2002/9/14/19753/0994

	What do you mean by this? Are you saying
	element.appendChild("<p>Hello</p>") should attach a p child to
	element?
	
	I can't say this appeals to me. You might be able to come up with a
