Cut and paste.

The only purpose of having DocumentFragment in the DOM API is to have
children for adoption via insertChild/appendNode.  It is just a placeholder
for nodes which are 'owned' by a Document but not yet part of the Document
tree.

huh?  They are moved, cut-and-pasted, out of the DocumentFragment and into
the target node.
