Yes, I think this is what I actually had in mind: true values override false values. > To make API somewhat more consistent, should we change > "Subsequent calls to the same MutationObserver made with the same |target| > have the effect of resetting the options associated with the registration.

But I'm not convinced we need this consistency, as I suspect the above case (covering multiple nodes with different registrations and different options) is quite unusual. - Adam
