Ah I see.  I think I misunderstood you then.  You're saying that
when appendChild, insertBefore, etc... are called with a node that's already
attached in the document, you just want to know that a node has been moved
from one place to another, right?  That makes a lot of sense.  Maybe in the
mutation lists where we list an equivalent of DOMNodeInserted, we'll have a
property to indicate the old container as well as the new container.
