Description

Axe 4.10.1 had a bug that caused it to error when it encountered a detached node. Testing detached DOM nodes isn't something axe really supports. But when a page mutates during a test, nodes may end up being detached in the middle of an axe run. We need to come up with a strategy for testing that detaching a node during an axe run doesn't crash it.
