Personally, I'd create a documentFragment and, yes, createElement(),
createTextNode() and appendChild() the rest to it, then append the
fragment. And append the style elements through createElement("style")
and appending it to the head through getElementsByTagName("head")[0]
(a technique that can be found in diveintogreasemonkey.org). But you
know about ppk's innerHTML "benchmark," right?
