Your XUpdate-example is correct. It appends one <article/> element to the end of
the <xmlrepository> element. If there are already children of the
<xmlrepository> element, the <article> element will be append after these
children. 

In the current available CVS version still another older version of XUpdate is
used. I tested the following with the new version, that should be now
available.

<lexus:modifications version="1.0"
        xmlns:lexus="http://www.xmldb.org/xupdate">
        <lexus:append select="/xmlrepository" child="last()">
                <lexus:element name="article">
                </lexus:element>
                <lexus:element name="article">
                </lexus:element>
        </lexus:append>
</lexus:modifications>

Also it should be able to write the following:

<lexus:modifications version="1.0"
        xmlns:lexus="http://www.xmldb.org/xupdate">
        <lexus:append select="/xmlrepository" child="last()">
                <lexus:element name="article">
                </lexus:element>
        </lexus:append>
        <lexus:append select="/xmlrepository" child="last()">
                <lexus:element name="article">
                </lexus:element>
        </lexus:append>
</lexus:modifications>

Both elements are appended as last child. I also tested the following
situation. I used the following document:

<xmlrepository>
	<article date="yesterday"/>
</xmlrepository>

I used your XUpdate and the result was:

<xmlrepository>
	<article date="yesterday"/>
	<article/>
</xmlrepository>


Best Regards
Andreas
