Re: [webcomponents] HTML Parsing and the <template> element

Hmm, I might be in agreement with Henri then. Having all these parallel

DOM trees on every node, and also this nested tree of document fragments
from <template>. There's a lot of simplicity in the DOM design that's lost
from these two changes.
