I like the first, there was an issue with multi-string .append where the first one was '[' that resulted in me needing to use document.createTextNode to work around it. Don't like the second, I don't see the purpose and it looks like it might have some issues working as an implementation. Not really a fan of third. Fourth, I don't think jQuery is the place for that, write a plugin.
