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

you can have *NodeGroup* in *NodeGroup* and the top level one is not necessarily connected ... the parent in that scenario (nested non live node groups) becomes even more cumbersome ... right now the parent is either the current one where the group was inserted, or `null` ...

the current prototype/idea is that anonymous groups don't share their reference so there is an ownership concept same way if you create a fragment and you don't leak it nobody can interfere with its logic (assuming is a class extends that does more and want to control or change or track or do whatever with its children when it's been created offline).

If it becomes something everyone can mess around with this simple contract won't exist anymore and personally I like that simple contract but, like you said:
