No. In fact, the DOM level 1 does not define any API for the
creator, only for the accessor. You can add elements and other
things, but you can't create or populate a DOM using only the
standard API.
DOM Level 1 is an ugly mess, and the only justification for it
is to keep Netscape and Microsoft from implementing even uglier
incompatible DOMs.
