[Bug 14275] This non-normative box is not very clean. After all, using DOM methods or innerHTML also could make DOM not correspond source code of document (heck, older versions of IE did some transformations). Also, as long you won't use async or defer I cannot think

This warning is talking about much more serious cases than that. For example,
if you document.write() the string "<plaintext>", the rest of the document is
turned to text, regardless. With innerHTML and DOM manipulation, you can't
cause the parser to parse parts of the document differently than it otherwise
would have.

The case in which it does depend on latency escapes me right now, but I'm
pretty sure there is one...

Anyone remember what it is?
