Re: [whatwg/dom] Un-merge Document and HTMLDocument (#221)

@domenic, I agree that "HTMLDocument and XMLDocument" is unlikely, as is "Just Document", but "Document and HTMLDocument" still looks plausible.

These are the spec-side steps I think make sense:
1. Un-merge `HTMLDocument` (now)
2. Wait for use counter data from Gecko on `XMLDocument.prototype.load`
3. If risk looks acceptable to Gecko, go with "Document and HTMLDocument" by making `XMLDocument` an alias of `Document`.
4. If not, go with "Document, HTMLDocument and XMLDocument"

If the Blink DOM team really wants to ship the constructor before knowing the fate of `XMLDocument` I will not stand in the way, but I'm not a fan because it increases the likelihood of getting stuck that silly state.
