I'm curious if it'd be possible to do it with Web Components. Spells are nice in theory, but that particular limitation is kind of annoying…

One potential difficulty I'm seeing is that scripts are loaded asynchronously along the tree, rather than synchronously before it. This is generally good, but it could make it impossible to get rid of the flash.

I'm not sure about compilation though. Maybe it's just the downloading that's asynchronous.

Right now it seems to me as though spells are run on DOMContentLoaded, which is precisely what I was trying to avoid with the whole MutationObserver dance. Annoying, annoying, annoying.
