I'm speaking from the framework's side. Yes, I did gloss over certain
complexities and constraints, but yes, it's almost there in practice.

1. If they don't expose the node through a ref or something, and no event
handlers exist, they could just assume (unsafely) you don't reference it,
and act accordingly. Note that I'm speaking from the framework level, which
can take liberties browsers can't.
2. I make the assumption you build change lists beforehand, and that
resolves all dependencies first. And in general, once you figure out what
changes need made, it doesn't actually matter as long as you unregister
`blur`/etc. handlers that fire on removal before applying the change list.
3. Script elements execute async, so you could ignore order here.
4. For style elements and ref-accessible elements, you could still execute
the changes in set slices, splitting on nodes/callbacks that require
awareness of past effects. (This could just be a flag.) However, these are
exceedingly rare.
