I guess it's a term relative to a tree. The nodes in the example above are in a
subtree relative to the larger tree in which node participates.

I am in the process of nomenclature change in the Shadow DOM spec, so I'll see
how much I can remove the notion of a subtree. I'll report after I am done --
I'll know better whether the Shadow DOM spec needs the term subtree.
