Can we alternatively extend document.createElement? Or was this
intentionally avoided to associate new elements with documents?
We could, but I'd much rather have the shorter name, personally. Having
the name be so long really makes that API unusable.
However, Nodes need a ownerDocument, and that needs to be supplied, even if
optionally. Doing document.createElement implies the document, Element.create
does not.
