How is this in any way more efficient? Say I have 10 or 100,000  or n
content pieces that I pull in by the document function...

I am perhaps taking the original post out its bounds, but who knows...

Opera is the only browser that allow JS transforms but not the document
function. Whats up with that?

Personally, I have stopped using Opera (whereas I was probably one of
the few who actually did use it).
