Re: should mutation observers be able to observe work done by the html parser

Yup. Not sure where this is in W3C DOM, but 12.2.5.1 Creating and inserting
nodes (http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/)

...

DOM mutation events must not fire for changes caused by the UA parsing the
document. This includes the parsing of any content inserted using
document.write() and document.writeln() calls. [DOMEVENTS]

However, mutation observers do fire, as required by the DOM specification.
