Utter nonsense.

By calling the appendChild() method of an element object, one appends a 
child node to the list of child nodes of an element node, accessible with 
the “childNodes” property of that object, which in turn refers to an object 
that ought to implement (at least) the NodeList interface.

Sadly, you have not the slightest clue what you are talking about.  I 
strongly suggest you be silent until this has changed, in order not to 
confuse people, especially those who are very confused already.

To begin with, there is no “Javascript” (see sig).  The interfaces we are 
discussing in this thread, and their implementations, are not even part of 
any ECMAScript implementation such as the language*s* that have “JavaScript” 
in their name.  The DOM is a *language-neutral* API; one can merely *access* 
its *implementations* by using an ECMAScript implementation, *among other 
programming languages*.
