[dom] List subclasses explicitly or not (#190)

@hayatoito raised this in https://github.com/whatwg/dom/commit/b2ee400a6542dc76d41bed5d2edb8c85ba241bfc. Filing so I don't forget.

Currently we list Text, ProcessingInstruction, Comment, explicitly, rather than simply stating CharacterData. Should we do the same for DocumentFragment and ShadowRoot, or is that case different because DocumentFragment is not an abstract interface?

We should probably treat that case different, since otherwise we'd have to list HTMLMarqueeElement and friends too. However, if we change this, perhaps it makes sense to just use abstract interfaces when they make sense?

@domenic had opinions here too I believe.
