Oh, I just noticed that you did the research for me in Comment 0. Oh well, I
confirmed it :-)

I did some digging and found this IRC log on WHATWG that seemed related:

Which led me to: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=983090

>From what I can piece together, the change to use a vanilla Document object is
to avoid having to support the .load API for the documents created by
parseFromString. This may be an interim requirement if Mozilla pulls support
for .load, after which it won't matter quite so much if the XMLDocument
constructor is used. Regardless, there's no harm in the current text, and I
think it was considered the best option going forward, so I prefer to stick
with it.
