I'm also running into a problem because of this, although not
directly.
When I called $('#something').html(newHTML), I expect this to behave
somewhat like innerHTML = newHTML. However, because of all the logic
inside that uses documentFragment, and elements outside of documents,
unknown tags are being munged up in IE:
<header>This is a header</header>
ends up being
<header/>This is a header</header/>
This happens because IE can only handle unknown tags if the document
has created an element with that nodeName before, and it can only
handle those tags inside the document, So "document.body.innerHTML =
newHTML" will properly create the header element, but
"document.createElement('body').innerHTML = newHTML" will not, since
the resulting body element is not a part of the document which knows
about the header element.
You can test this yourself in IE:
// let this IE document know about header element
document.createElement('header');
$('#div1').html("There should be a <header>header</header> here");
$('#div2')[0].innerHTML = "There should be a <header>header</header>
here";
