Re: [whatwg/dom] "In a document" confusion (#238)

> To me in a document clearly means light dom only, since there is parentNode chain from node to document in that case. That is what tree structures usually mean in computer science.

Is that CS tree concept usually denoted using the word "in", or is there perhaps a more precise phrase?

I do think "in a document tree" (and "in a shadow-including document tree" or similar) helps a bit over the simple "in a document". It makes me aware that there's a concept known as "document tree" and that I should be thinking in terms of tree structures.

I like "in a light document"/"in a document's light DOM" and "connected" the most but I guess others don't.
