Not sure you'd want to consider this... but I've found the SimpleXML  
library *much* easier to work with than the DOM XML.  Can you use php5?
http://php.net/simplexml

For DOM XML though... from looking at the documentation, it looks like  
DOM Element extends from DOM Node, so I think passing a DOM Element to  
appendChild() should work.  Do you get an error when you try to do that?
