I think so. However, I wonder if you have any thoughts about interning
Text/CDATASection node contents? I'm not entirely convinced that it's
worth it. There's an obvious win for everything else, though.
It's only worth interning those if it'll help later for the physical
layout, or to keep all the interfaces the same.
The former is unlikely, the latter isn't a bad plan.
Interning them only costs once anyway, so it's not exactly hard, and
then the layout engine could intern substrings of it for the box nodes
if it needed to, which would reduce memory repetition.
