Re: [whatwg/dom] Atomic move operation for element reparenting & reordering (Issue #1255)

Definitely would prefer full re-parenting.  I gave an htmx demo of an morph-based swap at Github where you could flip back and forth between two pages and a video keeps working:

The dark secret of that demo was that I had to really carefully structure the HTML in the first and second pages to make sure that the video stayed at the same depth w/ the same parent element types to make the video playing keep working.  Would be far better for HTML authors if they could change the HTML structure entirely, just build page 1 the way they want and build page 2 the way they want, and we could swap elements into their new spots by ID.
