I can't seem to find any mention of that in the DOM spec. As far as I can see, the DOM specifications simply describe an API. As such, it seems like these specifications should (ideally) guide any implementations of the DOM API.

Technically nobody is constrained by the spec, except by choice (not necessarily their own). Nonetheless, if this is (closer to) how this API is intended to be implemented, it seems like this spec is the place for those details.
