I believe the spec was written the way it was to deal with the case
where an explicitly empty set of reference nodes was given for find()
and findAll(). So it seems the current spec ended up treating these in
the same way by matching nothing:
document.querySelector(":scope")
document.findAll(":scope")
document.findAll(":scope", null)
document.findAll(":scope", [])

I can change the spec to make the first 2 examples above match
documentElement, but keep the latter two with explicit refNodes
parameters matching nothing.
