Re: [whatwg/dom] Node.prototype.rootNode is not Web compatible (#241)

Yeah, I agree. Problem is only with naming, e.g. `root` and `topRoot` are confusing, while `rootNode` and `getRootNode()` is much-much less confusing since it explicitly points to `Node`, not `Element`.
I know you probably have reasons to have  `document` as a root in this property, this is why I "just think" that `rootElement` could be better here. But nevermind, it was just a bit of off-topic.

Are we going with `getRootNode()` then?
