Appends raw XML data to a DOMDocumentFragment.
</p>
<p class="para">
This method is not part of the DOM standard. It was created as a simpler
approach for appending an XML DocumentFragment in a DOMDocument.
</p>
<p class="para">
If you want to stick to the standards, you will have to create a temporary
DOMDocument with a dummy root and then loop through the child nodes of the
root of your XML data to append them.
