Yeah, that could be a sensible approach as well. > In one of my _hydration_ exploration/solutions that special node was `<!--[3]--><br><br><br><!--[/]-->` where the `[3]` represents the list of direct next siblings to handle on move/remove operations and it would change if a specific node in it is appended or removed, reflecting the new "_range_" ... this doesn't seem too complicated and, if standardized, it would help tooling to never break that contract or drop those nodes. Yeah, something like that could work. I guess the primary question is _why_ we want to bake such a mechanism into the web platform itself instead of implementing it in user-land. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/whatwg/dom/issues/736#issuecomment-2750662770 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
