(faces.js dev here)

A nice thing about the current API is the face objects can be trivially serialized to JSON, which I need do in the application I originally wrote the library for.

Also the `display` function works with a DOM element as the first argument too, in which case you don't need to make up an ID. That's how I use it.

That being said, the API might not be perfect, but you should at least appreciate that it's been stable since v1 in 2015!
