And for those interested in the hack, we did this in our gulp compilation pipeline:

```auto
// Monkey patch step to work around Elm's Browser.application deficiencies.
// Please see VENDORHACKS.md for more details
gulp.task("build:scripts:elm:monkey-patch", () => {
  const originalApplicationBodyLoadingCode = "var bodyNode = _VirtualDom_doc.body;"
  const isolatedApplicationBodyLoadingCode = 'var bodyNode = _VirtualDom_doc.getElementById("elmIsolationContainer");'

  return gulp
    .src(output)
    .pipe($.replace(originalApplicationBodyLoadingCode, isolatedApplicationBodyLoadingCode))
    .pipe(gulp.dest(outputPath))
})

```
