Summary Find a way to share whitespace in the DOM

This bug is tracking the idea of sharing common whitespace sequences in the DOM to reduce memory use. For example if "\n" occurs in 1000 unique Nodes, it's a waste of memory. We should find some way to avoid really creating Nodes until JS asks for them while still retaining all the whitespace information somewhere in a more compact format.

At this point we need some fresh profiling to indicate this is what we need to do.
