InsertBefore	Inserts a child node to the left of the specified node, or at the end of the list.
Normalize	Normalizes all descendant elements by combining two or more adjacent text nodes into one unified text node.
RemoveChild	Removes the specified child node from the list of children and returns it.
ReplaceChild	Replaces the specified old child node with the supplied new child node.
