I've been quietly riding this bug for a few months, so I thought I'd contribute why this would be huge for our project (the open-source ebook library, Monocle).

Here's a (Flipboard-inspired) example that works in Firefox 11:

Our general use case for element(): we display "pages" as overlapping frames. Right now we load the content into multiple iframes — this is suboptimal for large/complex content, common in ebooks. element() would let us load the content just once into an "origin" iframe, and echo it for visual effects. An example of our current approach: http://monocle.inventivelabs.com.au/static/scripts/src/test/showcase/01-velveteen/index.html
