Seems to me - and seems from your posts to upstream bugreport that you 
agree - that a "straightforward" solution breaks the API, whereas a 
solution which preserves the API is hard.

It is my understanding that upstream would considers the API being tied 
to the API - i.e. if you want a different API then look for different 
module.

Therefore: How do you think about instead using HTML5::DOM?  It is not 
yet in Debian so will need a "sudo apt install cpanminus; cpanm 
HTML5::DOM".  If useful then I can offer to package it for Debian.
