[xml] Inserting document fragment



Hi,

When I insert a document fragment node (XML_DOCUMENT_FRAG_NODE) into the XML tree (for example using xmlAddChild), the node itself gets inserted instead of its child nodes. This is a bit inconvenient because I am writing a DOM api for a scripting language we're developing here, and the specification (http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/core.html#ID-B63ED1A3) states:

Furthermore, various operations -- such as inserting nodes as
children of another Node -- may take DocumentFragment objects as
arguments; this results in all the child nodes of the
DocumentFragment being moved to the child list of this node.

I know I can use xmlAddChildList with the children property of the document fragment node, but there are no such functions for xmlAddPrevSibling (i.e. xmlAddPrevSiblingList). Is there an easy way of inserting the children of a document fragment instead of the document fragment itself?
