DOM nodes are live. That is, you keep getting back the same copy, and bits of such as attributes can change over time. I think that is generally the pattern we follow throughout the platform. Notifications API being an exception of sorts due to its cross-realm nature. I think the main problem with making a Gamepad live is that the lifetime of the object has to be lifetime of the associated global. Otherwise GC can be observed through expandos. -- http://annevankesteren.nl/
