Baffling, isn't it? Reading the spec is equally baffling, but I think I
see for XMLList Append, that the targetObject of the appended XMLList
becomes the targetObject of the destination XMLList! That seems really
surprising to me and why they would do that doesn't jump to mind, but I
think that's what I see.
