Here is a revised proposal based on Ojan's earlier proposal to this list.  
These new methods are subject to compatibility testing.

We introduce a DocumentContent union type (DOMString maps to a Text node):

DOMString | CharacterData | Element | DocumentFragment

We introduce these methods on Element and DocumentFragment:

prepend(DocumentContent... nodes)
append(DocumentContent... nodes)

We introduce these methods on Element, DocumentFragment, and CharacterData:

before(DocumentContent... nodes)
after(DocumentContent... nodes)

We introduce this method on Element and CharacterData:

replace(DocumentContent... nodes)

We introduce this method on DocumentType, Element, and CharacterData:

remove()
