+//! Implements parallel traversal over the DOM tree.
+//!
+//! This traversal is based on Rayon, and therefore its safety is largely
+//! verified by the type system.
+//!
+//! The primary trickiness and fine print for the above relates to the
+//! thread safety of the DOM nodes themselves. Accessing a DOM element
+//! concurrently on multiple threads is actually mostly "safe", since all
+//! the mutable state is protected by an AtomicRefCell, and so we'll
+//! generally panic if something goes wrong. Still, we try to to enforce our
+//! thread invariants at compile time whenever possible. As such, TNode and
+//! TElement are not Send, so ordinary style system code cannot accidentally
+//! share them with other threads. In the parallel traversal, we explicitly
+//! invoke |unsafe { SendNode::new(n) }| to put nodes in containers that may
+//! be sent to other threads. This occurs in only a handful of places and is
+//! easy to grep for. At the time of this writing, there is no other unsafe
+//! code in the parallel traversal.

+///
+/// We allocate large safety margins because certain OS calls can use very large
+/// amounts of stack space [1]. Reserving a larger-than-necessary stack costs us

+/// When measured with 128KB stacks and 40KB margin, we could support 53
+/// levels of recursion before the limiter kicks in, on x86_64-Linux [2]. When
+/// we doubled the stack size, we added it all to the safety margin, so we should
+/// be able to get the same amount of recursion.
