Summary: pDomlette: appending empty DocFrag

Initial Comment:
When using appendChild with an empty DocumentFragment,
the fragment is appended to the node. Same thing with
insertBefore.

Demo code :

>>> from Ft.Lib.pDomlette import PyExpatReader
>>> d =
PyExpatReader().fromString('<doc><whatever/></doc>')
>>> df = d.createDocumentFragment()
>>> d.documentElement.appendChild(df)
<Domlette DocumentFragment Node at 8145a20 with 0
children>
>>> d.documentElement.childNodes # We expect to see
only the <whatever> child here
[<Domlette Element Node at 813ec78: name='whatever'
with 0 attributes and 0 children>, <Domlette
DocumentFragment Node at 8145a20 with 0 children>]


The problem is that the new node is tested both for
DocumentFragmentitude and non emptyness in the code,
and the the else clause catches the empty doc frag and
does the default processing with it.

Attached to this report is a patch to pDomlette.py that
fixes the problem. It was generated on top of the other
patch I submitted this week, but they do not overlap,
so this should not be problem. 

Cheers
