Mutation events are synchronous, which causes a ludicrous number of bugs and performance issues.  We now have mutation observers, and we'd really like to kill support for mutation events at some point in the future.  Probably not for a while yet.

In bug 766426 I'm going to have to add some kind of hack to account for mutation events, maybe removing an assert.  So I'd like to file a followup to get rid of the hack once we get rid of mutation events, and have it depend on this so we hopefully remember to fix it when we do actually kill mutation events.
