Re: [whatwg/dom] Proposal: a DocumentFragment whose nodes do not get removed once inserted (#736)

WebReflection left a comment (whatwg/dom#736)

Yes, boundaries are the thing to define properly, the rest is "*just a node*" (as in: "*just a fragment*") but comments are the easiest way to go ... about *ProcessingInstruction* idea I was excited until I've found out that both those and *CDATA* sections end up as comments and `<!--?group?-->`, when `<?group?>` was used, is even more ugly than `<!--<group>-->` to me and I save you time to represent what CDATA would look like.

I think named group with comments (or a special variant) are just fine and not named group should probably not be serialized via `outerHTML` (or revealed via `innerHTML`) but I really don't understand this push back about comments ... no user would notice and repeated similar content is cheap after compression + it works already ... it's eventually that *special* comment that could help *devtools* to debug groups so I don't understand why these can't be just comments to keep it as simple as possible, but of course I'd welcome a new "*special kind of node/comment*" although I am not sure that's really needed.
