After bug 1488697, we could make serialization even faster by trusting that the DOM can't change underneath us and that, therefore, it's OK to hold pointers that point into the text node and attribute value buffers.

This way, the first pass that generated Units could generate "foo", "&amp;" and "bar" units when it traverses a text node containing "foo&bar". The the second pass could work on just two types of units: char* + length and char16_t* + length. (I guess this would be mozilla::Variant<mozilla::Span<const char>, mozila::Span<const char16_t>>.)
