Do we still need Technique SCR21 ("Using functions of the Document Object Model (DOM) to add content to a page")?

SCR21 Using functions of the Document Object Model (DOM) to add content to a page seems to be less about the title of the document and more about certain scripting functionality that the author thinks should be avoided. For example:

"…and the innerHTML property is not part of the DOM specification and thus should be avoided."

and the Procedure, which consists of one item:

"Examine the source code and check that the new content is not created using document.write(), innerHTML, outerHTML, innerText or outerText."

As such:

1. Do we still this document?
2. If we do, then updating it to bring it up to date and re-writing the Procedure seems to be the way to go.

i'd say kill it with fire. this has nothing to do with accessibility and seems purely a code preference thing (and i'd say that "some of my best friends are innerHTML")

Works for me. I'll take off and nuke the entire page from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
