+//! Types used to access the DOM from style calculation.
+
+/// An opaque handle to a node, which, unlike UnsafeNode, cannot be transformed
+/// back into a non-opaque representation. The only safe operation that can be
+/// performed on this node is to compare it to another opaque handle or to another
+/// OpaqueNode.
+///
+/// Layout and Graphics use this to safely represent nodes for comparison purposes.
+/// Because the script task's GC does not trace layout, node data cannot be safely stored in layout
+/// data structures. Also, layout code tends to be faster when the DOM is not being accessed, for
+/// locality reasons. Using `OpaqueNode` enforces this invariant.
