Looks great. How is using mutation events for async better than `setTimeout(fn, 0)` ?

  Not having tested it personally I can't say, but I'd imagine it's a lot faster. I'd be more interested in how it compares to using postMessage which, from testing, is definitely a lot faster than setTimeout (like fast enough to be worth switching to if available).

    `postMessage` is faster than `setTimeout` but is unreliable. For example, it's synchronous in IE8. I may add support for `postMessage`, but for now I support "new and reliable" and "old and reliable".

      Hmm, didn't know that, thanks. I suppose if you really wanted to you could add a test to see if postMessage was async or not...
