Hi,

For me it is not clear at all what are the use cases for DOM Mutations Events 
on web pages (so maybe simply dropping their implementation would be an 
option?).

If the group could first identify the use cases for Mutation Events on the web 
pages, then:
a) it would become clear to everyone whether the progress is needed
b) creating proposals on progress would become easier, a proposal would have to 
satisfy these use case to prove its viability

Other thoughts:
1) If I am the author to the scripts that modify document, then I am indeed 
aware of what gets changed. If I am not the author, I shall then not have been 
notified on the change. The use cases such as "debugger" do not count here - it 
would be possible to offer required APIs (such as DOM Mutation Events) to them 
only, without needing the API to populate on the page. And this is not a 
sucrifice to run page 50% slower caused by the Mutation Events turned on on 
behalf of a debugger, right?

2) I can see Mutation Events as the extension point that enables implementation 
of the technologies that are not available in the browser. However this is not 
a "normal" usecase that web browsers are here to face.
