A script will eventually return to the event loop, where endUpdate() may be called automatically. You don’t even need beginUpdate(), because it may be hidden behind update methods.

Every time I read about DOM I frustrate about how many frontend issues are there due to just bad platform-level patterns. We’re long past the need of reflecting updates auto-instantly in a single call to the engine. And that wasn’t even necessary before.
