With HTML5 innerHTML will become a standard.

Anyway - the problem remains, that you may end up with an invalid
document when you insert invalid markup using innerHTML and the browser
has to parse the given markup with every change of the innerHTML property.

For more complex stuff you should use the DOM methods. This will be
faster and you can not create invalid documents accidentally.
