For anyone interested in this thread, here's a test case:

   <http://webtuitive.com/samples/documentWrite.jsp>

:: that illustrates the difference between using document.write()
and a DOM method like appendChild() in pages being served as HTML
(text/html) vs. XHTML (application/xhtml+xml).

Unfortunately, Opera seems not to handle the latter too well!

Comments, additions, corrections welcome :-)
