I may have misunderstood, but it sounds like you might be able to use
createContextualFragment:
<http://html5.org/specs/dom-parsing.html#extensions-to-the-range-interface>

Example copy'n'pasted from c.l.js:

var s = "<script>alert(1)</script>";
var range = document.createRange();
range.selectNode(document.body);
var documentFragment = range.createContextualFragment(s);
document.body.appendChild(documentFragment);
