<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was sort of hoping that there would be more
'integrated' approach that did not require manipulating the XML as a string,
such as being able to pass a list of namespaces to the Document constructor, or
build an element from an xml fragment, but the approach described here
is what I am now using.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Commonly fragments have multiple "top-level" nodes, which may
mean that you also need to wrap them all in a "fake" container element to make
the document parsable (unless JDOM has a document fragment parser - which I
don't recall seeing and can't find).<BR><BR>Handling this is similar to what
Per said, but you need detach all the content from this "fake" root element
and add it into the target document and the required point(s).<BR><BR>Phil
