[csswg-drafts] [css-display] "root element" is undefined (#7786)

cvrebert has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-display] "root element" is undefined ==
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-display/#transformations

> The root element’s display type is always blockified.

https://drafts.csswg.org/css-display/#initial-containing-block

> *initial containing block*
> The containing block of the root element.

The term "root element" is neither hyperlinked nor explicitly defined. My skimming of the DOM spec is that, while it defines [tree](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-tree), [root](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-tree-root), and [element](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-element), the root of a normal DOM tree would instead be the `Document` node. Nor does DOM appear to define how its definition of "root" would/could be modified by the adjective "element".

Searching further, it appears to me that [**document element**](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#document-element) would be the correct term to use in these cases.
