Yes we would. Internal logic would be simplified.

[barneycarroll]

Immediate ancestor components without discrete DOM artefacts bork the current mechanism because the render directive will cause their views to be re-computed, breaking the isolation contract.

☝ fixed in 6f1aeaf.

The next blocker is a problem whereby Mithril attempts to patch values onto undefined DOM nodes.

Why doesn't Mithril update the instance vtree with DOM references during the localised render? I would expect this to have 'just worked'.

Is it an issue to do with Patchinko overwriting defined values in the target with undefined values in a patch? It shouldn't - we're not patching the instance itself…
