Apparently not, since Mozilla has gotten no bug reports on it, unlike the other
approaches we've tried here.

:empty is certainly more expensive; I can't say how much more offhand.  In some
cases it's probably not noticeable at all.  On the other hand, I can certainly
construct pathological testcases which cause :empty to trigger O(N) behavior on
append in Gecko.  I can't speak to other engines.

Comment 11 sounds good.
