Unfortunately, this isn't doing what I need to do. This XSL creates a
completely new DOM document with a 'menu' root. I need to put a series of
nodes into an existing document at a specific node beneath the root.

I want the root node to be any currently existing element in my DOM tree. I
can control the choice of which node is my parent in the destination tree,
but if I try to put more than one node under that parent element, I get this
error, even though I don't think the error is correct.

I understand that I can't create a DOM document with more than one root
element, but that's not what I'm trying. I already have the DOM document,
and I want to put a series of nodes under a child element of that DOM
document...

Thanx,
