Do we need to mount on the DOM?
See original GitHub issuecreateApp(...).mount requires a real DOM element from what I can see - I’m not sure how VTU beta handled this, but I believe the default was NOT to mount on the dom, since we had an attachToDocument option.
We are currently tightly coupled to the DOM - not ideal, but I think it’s fine for a pre alpha.

Going to close this for now - we have a pretty good solution where we mount on an element on in the DOM as of this commit so we are not blowing up any potentially pre-existing state, which matches the VTU beta API.
If this turns out to be a problem (eg performance) we can look more deeply into how this was handled in Vue 2.
Did a quick check - seems that in Vue 2, mount could indeed work without an element to mount to.
