And/or we just need to rethink how the Blink preloader operates. AFAIK, FF
(and IE, I believe) construct the actual tree as part of the preload scan
-- FF/IE folks, please correct me if that's not true. Point being, just
because "Blink can't do X today", shouldn't stop us in our tracks. :-)
Some combination of "element visibility" and "optional trees" would be much
welcome addition in my books! That would give us all the low-level
primitives to construct all kinds of great (and much needed) stuff in
client-space.
