I'm interested to know if in the C++ parts of
Mozilla you have references to XBL objects where this becomes a problem.
Yes, there can definitely be references from C++ to XBL objects in Mozilla. And

But at least DOM3 says that the node is allowed to be replaced if it is
not possible for the implementation to just rename the node (for
whatever reason).
Indeed. I fully expect to take advantage of that weasel-hole as needed. ;)
