Absolutely! Whether or not any given change will do so depends on
the change and the schema.
Now, if we're talking about well-formedness, I think that's
guaranteed to hold if the DOM implementation isn't seriously buggy.
But a non-well-formed DOM tree just doesn't make conceptual sense --
that the document is a tree is just about all well-formedness
requires!
