I'm not aware of the innerHTML outerHTML properties in the HTML DOM. Any

I'm guessing, as I'm not sure what setOuterXML() should do. Is it a way of
wrapping a Node with an element tag?
If so you could do this like...
Element oldRoot = document.getRootElement();
oldRoot.detach();
Element newRoot = document.addElement( "fred" );
newRoot.add( oldRoot );
A similar approach could be taken at the Element level too using
combinations of detach(), addElement() and add( oldElement );
