We should have some slicker tools for annotating when the DOM is in an inconsistent state and we do not expect JS to run. This came up again while reviewing bug 93639 720083 1 abarth 2012-09-13 16:13:24 -0700 forbidEventDispatch is something like that, but probably doesn't cover all the cases you'd like to cover. 721063 2 ap 2012-09-14 13:03:23 -0700 A good idea, although I'm not a big fan of "DOMCriticalSection" name. Besides event dispatch, what forbidden code do you have in mind for these sections? 721099 3 rniwa 2012-09-14 13:48:20 -0700 (In reply to comment #2) > A good idea, although I'm not a big fan of "DOMCriticalSection" name.
