That'd be a lot of extra use counters!  I think you'd have to file a bug
and/or ask folks on the DOM team how much of a performance hit they're
willing to take by recording use counters for everything.  Instrumenting
all the SVG APIs sounds sort of reasonable to me...

I'm not sure how to interpret "How much of a burden will these requests be
on developers and users?"  If you're asking about performance penalties,
then yes, there is a performance penalty associated with them...

Thanks,
