Argh. Subforms/multi-window is only on  the drawing board in XForms :( We have 
<message>, but it only allows for <output> in its content, so that's no help.

I wish I could give you something better, but this should work though:
var mod = document.getElementById('modelid');
var inst = mod.getInstanceDocument('instanceid');
var parent = inst.getElementById/Tagname/whatever-gets-you-the-nodeset-target;
var newtag = document.createElement("newtag");
newtag.appendChild(document.createTextNode("test value"));
parent.appendChild(newtag);
mod.rebuild();
mod.recalculate();
mod.revalidate();
mod.refresh();
(quicly written, so I might have 100 parse errors, and the likes...)

I'll try, that's all I can promise :)
