Re: XBL in document fragments

Sorry.  I mean something like this:

  var df = document.createDocumentFragment();
  df.appendChild(document.createElementNS(myns, "something"));

If there was a definition for my:something in the document, would the
element get a shadow tree here?  I guess the document fragment is a bit
of a red herring to the general form of my question, which would be:
does an element get a shadow tree once it is created, or only once it is
inserted into the document?

Another example:

  var df = document.createDocumentFragment();
  df.appendChild(xblElement); // some XBL to define my:something
  df.appendChild(document.createElementNS(myns, "something"));
  
So now the XBL definitions for my:something are in the document fragment
as well.  If the document fragment is not inserted into the document,
would the my:something element get a shadow tree?

In both of these examples, it would be equivalent if I used an svg:g
element instead of a document fragment, I suppose.

Thanks,

Cameron
