Description Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2012-09-20 19:56:09 UTC 
It would make my life easier in the HTML spec if there was a hook that fired for each node that is inserted when a whole subtree or doc fragment is inserted, in a defined order. Currently there's just a "nodes are inserted" hook which is a bit vague about which nodes and so forth.

(FYI I plan to execute script on this hook.)

Since I added this for the script stuff it's no problem to make it work in a way that's easier for you :-)
