Well yes, but I first need to understand what is going on before I can 
make a testcase. I already found some new/interesting details like this one:

Our document fragment, the one we get from
processor.transformToFragment(xmldoc, targetDocument)
looks like this:

<html>
   <head>
   <body>

and adding it to our target document results into something like this:

#document
   <rss>
      <html>
        <head>
        <body>

That used to work, but now fails. I found out that skipping the <html> 
node still works, and that results into this document:

#document
   <rss>
     <head>
     <body>

My father said that there shouldn't be an <html> element for 
rss/feed/rdf:RDF document nodes, is that correct? I guess that he is 
righ, simply because it works ;)

Also, the lines that use method appendChild already skipped the <html> 
element and that is why I thought that adding the nodes one by one 
worked, but that was only because it skips that node.

Maybe this 'bug' is introduced by some new limitation/regulation in the 
(namespace?) code of Mozilla, but that's just a wild guess.

Thank you,
Michael
