If I understand your suggestion correctly, then no, that would mean
that Yehuda's original example:

var frag = document.createDocumentFragment();
  frag.innerHTML = "<tr><td>hello</td></tr>"
  someTable.appendChild(frag)

would break - the frag would end up with a <table> and <tbody> inside,
which is wrong when you then try to insert it into an existing table.
