Synchronous loading blocks the browser and should therefore be avoided.

So here you already have a DOM document as the result of the 
transformation but then you first

serialize it back to a string to then have that string

> document.write(output);

parsed again into a DOM document. Not a good approach, really 
inefficient and cumbersome overhead instead. That is why I mentioned 
transformToFrament which works nicely together with other W3C DOM APIs 
like appendChild or replaceChild (without the overhead of serializing 
and parsing back).
