Diogo, that is actually expected because you may often want to remove
the element from the DOM and insert it later. You wouldn't want the
element to disappear from your jQuery object just because it was
removed from the DOM. I can definitely see the usefulness of being
able to detect whether the element is still in the DOM though.

For the implementation it would probably be fastest to use the
contains or compareDocumentPosition methods; John did a writeup
earlier in the year.
