What would happen if jQuery would "force" a "singleton" for a host document ?
What if : $() $("html") $( document ) ... etc Would all point to the same jQuery instance ? One document one jQuery. Do we already have it in core.js : // A central reference to the root jQuery(document) rootjQuery, And can we "just use it" like this : // Handle $(""), $(null), or $(undefined) if (!selector) { return rootjQuery; // originaly returning 'this' } Is there anything that "obviously" renders this "impossible" ? This (for sure) will provoke some people to think about using potentially removed nodes, or attributes "changed by something else". At least some rudimentary ("free" ?) mechanism, for multiple callers/ users operating on a single document, in the same time. And. It seems this will allow jQuery "internals" to have (at least some) way of knowing that rootjQuery.length has changed.
