So per Kenny anyone using jQuery and not having upgraded after 2008
would per http://blog.jquery.com/2009/01/14/jquery-1-3-released/
potentially hit this problem.

That does indeed seem like a compatibility problem. Can we have
telemetry to confirm our suspicions?

We should add it to DocumentFragment I think. That will be useful for
ShadowRoot too.
