That is very limiting, even as a guideline. Any time there are two or
more related objects it is very likely that a setter might affect some
other object.
You're right, and my children-may-become-garbage loophole wasn't wide
enough. But children-might-be-orphaned-with-null-parentNode is not bad,
as a wider loophole. Are we really talking about significant [*]
unrelated changes outside the container whose setter was invoked?

ignoring observers and such. Events bubbling up was something I left out
altogether.
