document.write() works fine in XHTML documents unless you serve the document
with an XHTML MIME type, which is rarely done in practice. If you are doing
that you must avoid document.write().
 
I'm a big fan of document.write(). It lets you accomplish some things very
cleanly that you can't do at all with the DOM.
 
Of course, WRT Derba's code, document.write() can not be used in a load()
event. It can only be used while the page is loading.

@Karl: Thanks, that sounds like a good reason to me :) I wasn't aware of
XHTML not allowing document.write() 

@Ricardo: The $('head').append() approach looks great.
