You should be able to use application/xml and then importNode the 
documentElement e.g. in an HTML document

var doc = new DOMParser().parseFromString([
   '<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">',
   '<circle cx="100" cy="100" r="20" fill="green"/>',
   '</svg>'
].join('\r\n'), 'application/xml');
document.body.appendChild(document.importNode(doc.documentElement, true));

works just fine. So getElementById does not work but inserting nodes 
into another document should work fine.
