This requires weird contortions in the DOM and Render tree and removes nice guarantees.
For example Node.h has: TreeScope* treeScope() const; Document* document() const; Node* childNode(unsigned index) const; Returning a const Document* or Node* from childNode makes the DOM API's suddenly less useful, and marking them as non-const is confusing. These methods shouldn't be making mutations and the compiler should enforce that (or at least try to), and the const is also good documentation.
