For access from JS that's exactly what we'll do.
The question is what happens for access from Rust.

AFAIK, in Chrome, if two JS documents can reference each other's heaps, it

1) document.write is not fast (though of course "fast" is a relative

Just fyi.

I will bet $100 that you have, and never even realized it, what with
implicit adoption. Again, unless you're narrowly defining "use" as
"call adoptNode" as opposed to "adopt a node".
Specifically, compar

Still could have too high a penalty, but we can roll the dice with Servo.

Not implementing adoption breaks the web. That includes both explicit
adoption via adoptNode and implicit adoption via simply inserting the
node into a different document. Both pose identical problems

I'm in a glass house when it comes to criticizing DOM APIs :-P.
Perhaps it's ok for performance to be in a penalty box for adoptNode.
