Panel.show() takes a DOMElement argument, but it isn't possible to pass DOM objects across process boundaries. Instead, the method should take a handle <https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Jetpack_Processes#Handles> that APIs like Widget and Page Mods can obtain from the chrome process. For the first beta release, we need to fix the docs to specify that the type of the argument passed to Panel.show() is a handle. Actually passing a handle rather than a DOMElement will happen when we update the API implementations to work across processes.
