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
logically consistent model where this makes sense, but I don't see
it. Most of the people who want to do this appear to be confusing
text and markup. Still, it would be an interesting approach for
somebody to experiment with.
