Here's the code btw, it isn't actually checking whether or not it gets a DocumentFragment, it is literally just returning the first parameter it is given blindly. I somehow guessed this was the case before I saw the code, too. LOL

if (!CollectChildrenAndRemoveFromOldParent(*new_child, targets, exception_state))
    return new_child;

— Background is slideshow. For example, click create account which changes only the form, background remains the way. How it?

— The spec says it inserts the children of the fragment, and that's what they do.

— It also says those functions return the inserted nodes.
