[Bug 11204] Defer to DOM Parsing for innerHTML et al

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11204

Apologies for not correctly following the process here. I think this is worth
discussing with the working group, not because of challenges solving this
particular issue, but so we can agree on how changes like this should be
handled in the future.

For the tracker issue I propose the following...

Title:
Ensure innerHTML and related APIs are subject to the W3C patent policy

Text:
Given innerHTML, outerHTML, etc. were previously defined in HTML5 before being
relocated to an external specification, we should ensure the W3C patent policy
continues to apply to the definition of these APIs. We should also consider how
we want to handle similar changes in the future. 

For these particular APIs I propose resolving the issue by finishing the
process to get the DOM Parsing and Serialization spec up and running within the
W3C. I appreciate the work Ms2ger has put in to create this specification and
I'd prefer not to regress that effort.
