really?
In, w3c's document, the following statements appear.
 - this results in all the child nodes of the DocumentFragment being
    moved to the child list of this node.
Umm, above "moved" word means what?
  copy-and-paste or cut-and-paste?

The class that I had developed in java has DocumentFragment Object,
and this class's publish() method insert this DocumentFragment into=20
root Document's any Node. after invoking publish() method,=20
is it correct this class's DocumentFragment member has no child nodes?
or not.
If the original node's of DocumentFragment remained in DocumentFragment
object, I can change the DocumentFragment's childnode's.

How Current well-known DOM implementaions handles it?
especially OpenXML?

Best,
