 sorry adam i've only just found these comments!

 i did try [create a new Document object] and the attempts resulted in
 segfaults and consumed significant time and resources.

 so - LANGUAGE_GOBJECT re-enables send(DOMString), pending a solution
 [post-landing].

 sadly, the policy on webkit bugreports is that you are not allowed to
 record bugs onto bugreports that have not been landed.

 so, we must make a mental note of this, along-side dozens of other issues.

 very much so.
