[Bug 26957] Allow sending DOM objects to Workers and expose a DOM (or DOM-like) interface to workers

I don't get it. 
Why would DOM methods need to be thread-safe to implement what I'm suggesting?
Am I missing something?

> At least in Gecko, making it possible to use DOM nodes from multiple threads (yes, distinct DOM nodes) would be a pretty major undertaking.  Starting with the fact that we intern things like localnames and namespaces and the interning is not thread-safe, for example.

What does that have to do with my suggestion? The only problem you are stating
is that DOM methods applied to a DOM node are not thread-safe, if I understood
that right. I really don't see why that is an impediment to my request as
there's no memory sharing.
