not to mention the fact that this is what xsp is all about! it's much
easier to write:

<xsp:logic>
  // stuff
  <label id="200">My label value</label>
  // other stuff
</xsp:logic>

than to write:

<xsp:logic>
  // stuff
  xspParentNode = xspCurrentNode;
  xspNodeStack.push(xspParentNode);
  xspCurrentNode =
    document.createElement("label");
  xspParentNode.appendChild(xspCurrentNode);
  ... etc ...
  // other stuff
</xsp:logic>

that's largely the raison d'etre for xsp. that and logicsheets.
