so I guess there’s no way to convert XML string to Y.XML?

You can try to parse XML by some XMLParser, and use insert API to create an XmlFragment.

The codes are like:

const doc = new Y.Doc();
const xmlFragment = doc.get('xml', Y.XmlFragment);

const xml = parseXML(xmlString);
const nodeToType = new Map();
traverse(xml, function(node, parentNode) {
  let type = null;
  if (isText(node)) {
    type = new Y.XmlText(node.text);
  } else {
    type = new Y.XmlElement(node.tagName);
  }
  nodeToType.set(node, type);
  const parentType = nodeToType.get(parentNode);
  parentType.insert(parentType.length, type);
})
