Actually, the existing documentation for Html.Keyed comes close to saying what needs to be said:
> Works just like Html.node, but you add a unique identifier to each child > node. You want this when you have a list of nodes that is changing: adding > nodes, removing nodes, etc. In these cases, the unique identifiers help make > the DOM modifications more efficient. In addition to make the modifications more efficient, it makes them more correct because it avoids having positional shifts cause confusion. Basic rule: If the set of children for an Html node can change, then you should use Html.Keyed for that node to avoid problems with DOM element state or focus. Side note: Do not reuse keys under a node if you don't want state preserved. (That's the issue that started the parent thread.)
