Elements missing outerHTML

Because toString() on an element in the browser returns something like “[object HTMLDivElement]”, I have a helper function like this in my tests that run on both server and browser:

function toStr (el) {
  return el.outerHTML || String(el);
}

Could elements in min-document have an outerHTML as well for parity?

I would also like support for outerHTML so the exact same code can run client/server.

This seems like a good use for a getter in the constructor to so I’m curious why you want to avoid it:

Object.defineProperty(this, 'outerHTML', {
  get: function() { return this.toString() }
})

Otherwise this lib would have to monitor changes to itself and render upon each to the property; which sounds a lot more horrible IMO.

Thanks for the clarification 👍
