I suggest using XmlDocument.CreateDocumentFragment if you have the data in free form strings. You'll still have to use AppendChild to add the fragment to a node, but you have the freedom of building the XML in your StringBuilder.

xdoc.LoadXml(@"");

XmlDocumentFragment xfrag = xdoc.CreateDocumentFragment();
xfrag.InnerXml = @"";

xdoc.DocumentElement.FirstChild.AppendChild(xfrag);
