Description Dimitri Glazkov 2013-05-07 21:19:40 UTC 
If an unresolved element had been garbage-collected, it probably doesn't need its lifecycle callbacks called. The spec should say something about that.
Comment 1 Dominic Cooney 2013-05-08 00:08:11 UTC 
The key here is to neither guarantee that the callbacks will be called, or that they won't be called.
Comment 2 Dimitri Glazkov 2013-05-22 21:27:32 UTC 
I decided to steal the language from http://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#garbage-collection
