When I wrote that I had some recollection that I had long ago attempted 
to change the DOM and it would not work. But I have tried now and you 
can change the DOM of document.XMLDocument. But an automatic update of 
the result document rendered in the browser does not happen, one needs 
to run the transformation using the MSXML methods (e.g. tranformNode) 
and then use IE DOM stuff (e.g. innerHTML, insertAdjacentHTML) to have 
the string result of transformNode parsed and inserted into IE's HTML 
DOM document.
