Just for reference, I ended up with a replace function which is copying all children to a newly created node: (VB6 sample code)

Private Sub ReplaceNodeName(oDoc As DOMDocument, oElement As IXMLDOMElement, newName As String)
    Dim ohElement As IXMLDOMElement
    Dim sElement As IXMLDOMElement
    Dim oChild As IXMLDOMNode

    ' search the children '
    If Not oElement Is Nothing Then
        Set ohElement = oElement.parentNode
        Set sElement = oDoc.createElement(newName)

        For Each oChild In oElement.childNodes
            Call sElement.appendChild(oChild)
        Next

        Call ohElement.replaceChild(sElement, oElement)
    End If
End Sub
