You don't have to append to .documentelement, you can append to outMSXML
directly. The first element node you append to the root of the dom becomes
to document element.

outMSXML.loadXML('<?xml version = ''1.0''?>');
newNode := outMSXML.createNode(1,
'NLIS_MESSAGE','http://www.www.www/NS/2001-01-10');
outMSXML.appendChild(newNode);
rootNode := outMSXML.DocumentElement;
headernode =
outMSXML.createnode(1,"NLIS_HEADER","http://www.www.www/NS/2001-01-10")
rootnode.appenchild(headernode)
ivnnode =
outmsxml.createnode(1,"INTERFACE_VERSION_NUMBER","http://www.www.www/NS/2001
-01-10")
headernode.appendchild(ivnnode)
ivnnode.text = "6.00"
