A non-trivial portion of https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/search?q=translateElements%28&path=js&case=false&regexp=false and https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/search?q=translateFragment%28&path=js&case=false&regexp=false should be removable now that bug 1819664 means we don't fire the load event until l10n has taken place, even for strings only set during DCL or similar.

We should audit these callers and check which ones can be removed.

I've gone through translateElements but still need to look at translateFragment. I also wonder if there are docs that need updating.
