I just realized I had written a bug that relates to coalescing foster-parented text.
Consider: document.write("<table> ");
By the time the document.write() returns, it's impossible to decide if the spaces aren't going to get non-space characters in the same text node (and get foster-parented) or whether there's not going to be non-space characters (in which case the spaces shouldn't get foster-parented).
I suggest not flushing the spaces when the document.write() returns and only flushing them lazily--that is, making document.write() flush trailing text only if the element on the stack isn't foster-parenting.
