You're right as far as my example is concerned, but I've replaced 
innerHTML=<div>Text</div> with innerHTML=<span><em>Text</em></span>, the 
text is italic and the DOM inspector sees the <span> tag too.

I was trying to simplify 
http://www.understandingxml.com/archives/2005/06/objectifying_xm.html, 
that uses innerHTML too.

Thank you. I'll be glad to use e4x to query xmlhttp objects, as it is 
simpler than xpath anyway, and look forward to 2.0 :-)
