Re: [whatwg/dom] Proposal: New method to reorder child nodes (#891)

I don't think this is viable as an *alternative* - but since this API is already spec'ed and [has concensus](https://chromestatus.com/feature/5711021289242624), a spec for generic DOM reordering should probably reference this.

The [proposal](https://github.com/WICG/webcomponents/blob/gh-pages/proposals/Imperative-Shadow-DOM-Distribution-API.md) makes no mention of preserving state of iframes, input elements, etc. - it doesn't look like this was spec'ed? So if it happens to work that way, that could be just luck. A generic DOM API likely needs to carefully spec this behavior.
