So is this basically a safe version of innerHTML?

I'm confused as to why you need a "safe" version if you're the one generating and injecting the HTML.

Why should a web page only have a single person generating and injecting HTML into it?

The analogy doesn't hold markup ;)

Whether I generate a whole page or generate a partial page and then add HTML to it is equivalent from a safety perspective.
