You can insert it, and it will be instantiated into the element you
desire, assuming that it is valid HTML after it's been evaluated, and
you're inserting it into a spot in the DOM where that makes sense. For
example, a TR inside a TBODY or THEAD, a SPAN inside a P...
If you want to make an Element and do things with it either before or
without inserting it into the visible page, you can use the new
Element(tag,{attributes}) syntax to do that. Added benefit that you
have a full element, you can attach listeners to it, etc, without
needing to insert it in the page or make it visible.

Template evaluate returns a string. What is the best way to go from
