I'm not sure I agree. An addition to the DOM means that the structure changed and that it needs to be re-rendered. This means that in addition to other things, at least the 'cascading' bit of CSS needs to be re-evaluated before the browser can render the new state. Again, I'm certainly not arguing against the RoyaleJS architecture! I was there when it was created and stand by many of the decisions we made. I am in this thread because Olaf's question chimed with my thinking on possible alternative framework architectures.
