Description
We need to find a way to limit the number of DOM nodes in our formatted output.
Loading a large document causes the browser's interface to freeze, sometimes
for several minutes in my testing. The formatting must be moved out of the
stream converter so that it can happen asynchronously after the browser has
displayed something. The entire formatted output should not be added to the
page in one operation, even asynchronously this would cause a freeze.
We could either add more nodes as the user scrolls down to gradually build the
formatted output (easier) or only insert DOM nodes that would be visible and
remove them when scrolled out of view (cooler and I like a challenge :D ).
