That seems like a lot of added complexity, but yeah, that would be an option I suppose.

The composed tree is still a DOM tree, just composed from various other trees. In the "open" case you can access it synchronously through various APIs (e.g. >>> if we keep that for querySelector() selectors and also deepPath). -- https://annevankesteren.nl/
