Hi Nick,

let's leave out all the regex stuff; it does not seem relevant to the
problem.

That is: Text node "za", element node with text child, text node "cz".

That's unnecessary.

You need to import it. You can't simply add nodes originating in another
document.

But you don't need an additional document, which makes things more
complicated. All you need is to add three nodes in the right position.

(1) Remove the node you want to replace.
(2) Find out whether or not there are more nodes after your insertion
    point. If so, use insertBefore(); if not, simply use append().
(3) Create your nodes as you go using the very same document you want
    to adopt them.
(4) Done.
