I think the idea of having "fake nodes" generated on the layout side for generated content is a good one if you can make it work. I think having no nodes at all for generated content is likely to cause a lot of pain. It did in Gecko, which is why we switched to generating real anonymous nodes. I think it's a good idea to avoid having abstraction layers that would let you swap out core subsystems like the style system for another implementation. The reality is that once things really get going you won't be doing that often, and for complex internals those layers get in the way. 1999-era Gecko had all sorts of pointless internal XPCOM-based abstractions that really hurt us. Focus on having good module boundaries and you'll be covered.
