Best practices waiting for DOM parsing

I wanted to ask the community's opinion on the best practice for waiting for a DOM resource to become available.

Use Case:

You make an elaborate component via UiBinder or injecting some HTML/SVG into the DOM and upon executing the following statement trying to access an element that was injected, the DOM does not see it (i.e. inject 2MB of SVG) due to DOM parsing lag.

Work Arounds:

1. Schedule recurring timer to check if the element is available and then continue the program flow (now that the element's accessible in the DOM).
2. OR Schedule a deferred timer and then continue (less robust, does not always work).

So, curious what other folks have been using in this case where the GWT code must wait to wait for DOM parsing lag time. It seems to me like this is something there should be an official GWT function for doing as other frameworks do have functions to wait until an object becomes available in the DOM.

Sincerely,

Joseph
