[Javascript] document.createElement("TBODY")

[Billy Reisinger]

I've encountered situations in which I am not in control of the  
server that is returning the content, and that server is returning a  
content type header that is unfriendly with using responseXML.  In  
those cases, I have felt justified in using a responseText /  
innerHTML solution, with the caveat that I have to wait about 20  
milliseconds for the browser to parse the innerHTML insertion before  
doing any DOM manipulation on it.  Fun fun.
