Definitely the spirit!
That's one of those "children become garbage" cases, unless I
misunderstand your point. "The receiver" for .innerHTML includes
all descendants.
Yeah that makes sense, although the exact side-effects might be more
observable with DOM. Relatedly, are we specifically exempting
Object.observe and DOM Mutation observers from the "observability"
requirement?
Yes, or at least: I wasn't considering those (or Proxies, as David
pointed out) in my "first cut".
Some of this must be excluded from any such "Design Rules".
