It lets users rearrange specific HTML elements to their liking with a drag and drop approach in a settings window. For the user to be able to preview their changes and be able to tell how their actions affect the actual elements, I need to be able to display a \"copy\" of the elements that are being manipulated. Using `element` I could easily create live-updating previews of the manipulated elements.",
