| One thing you have to keep in mind is that 4DOM include features not
| available in other implementations, such as DOM L2 Events: each time
| you manipulate nodes, events get propagated up the DOM tree. This is
| a huge overhead, but it is so useful when displaying a DOM in a
| gui...

It is tempting to look into ways of not having to pay this huge
penalty when you don't use that feature.  I've come across similar
problems many times when doing Python programming and wish there were
a general solution.

Features from Aspect-Oriented Programming, or CLOS, would be nice.
