Hi,
just a reminder that DOM3 discussion should be on the www-dom list. Please
follow up there.
(I have forwarded the thread, more or less gathered together, to that
list.)
cheers

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.
