Ah, now I see the problem: one of the main differences between
dom::tcl and dom::c is that, in dom::tcl,

    dom::document createXXX $parent ...

adds the new node as a child of $parent, whereas
dom::c creates it as an unattached, parentless node.
You have to add the new node "by hand", e.g.,:

    dom::node appendChild $parent [dom::document createXXX $parent ...]

The dom::tcl behaviour is more intuitive and useful,
but the dom::c behaviour matches the W3C DOM specification
more closely.  When I last asked Steve about this he
indicated that it would be best to follow the W3C spec.

Steve - is this still your take on things, or would
it be better to change dom::c to match the documentation
and dom::tcl?
