You know what other domain specific languages can't change the DOM
dynamically. Postscript, that's who!!

Also Hitler cannot change the DOM dynamically. Why do people continue
to use Postscript and Hitler to do things that they were designed to
do, when they can't do things they weren't designed to do? Just
poopyheads I guess.

Mr. Important Authority says that it is wrong. What do you got to say
to that huh? Do you DARE to argue against Mr. Important Authority.
Respect my linking to Mr. Important Authority dammit, you ivory tower
pointyheaded blah blahs!
