re. DOM, features, parsing.

There are a number of scenarios where I've wished for scenario testing, e.g. to
see if an object fits in a space, one could do ray-tracing in the SDL on the
scene as it is being built, but what we can't do NOW is put an object in, do
some processing, then remove the object from the scene if we don't want it.

I think this type of 'spatial awareness', along with some functions to compute
overlapping (whether directly, or via bounds of computed intersections), would
go a long way for people who generate scenes procedurally.
