Description Jim des Rivieres

There are various places in the DOM/AST implementation that
lazily create nodes for the default child values. This is done
when the child value is read. However, when it creates the
node and sets the field the modification count is increased.
This results, for example, in all bindings being thrown away!

Lazy creation of children is an internal implementation detail.
The client is really just reading the value of a property, not
modifying anything. Consequently, these node creations and
modifications should not count.
