You are right on this. It is possible to reference from HTML to multiple 
documents.
This behavior is well defined in the HTML spec and as WICD core define 
external documents only by the OBJECT element this scenario is not in 
our scope.
Therefore we do not specify to reference multiple documents by a single 
document.
