So far I've wished for this on two occasions,

• when I wanted to append to elements in another window,

...appendTo('body', selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document);

• and when I wanted to append to elements with a selector, but only under this DOM element,

...appendTo('ul', this);

It's not much more complicated to use .appendTo($('ul', this)) though.

You are right, but this works only in Internet Explorer and Firefox. AppendTo into another document does not work in Chrome and Safari.
