Details

Apparently both IE and Chrome allocate DOM nodes into some kind of separate heap partition.  This is a weaker mitigation measure than frame poisoning, because things with different vtables can still get allocated to the same location, but I suppose it reduces problems where a typed array buffer gets allocated in the former location of a DOM node.  The main drawback would presumably be increased heap fragmentation.
We sort of tried this before FF 3, because of perf reasons. And it was good for perf, but
bad for memory consumption. See bug 403830.
