Re: [whatwg/dom] Treat fragment parser documents as not connected (PR #1474)

> Indeed it feels a bit yuck, though it doesn't seem possible to change in a nice way as long as connected is defined in terms of document and fragment parsing requires a document. If we can wire up fragment parsing without a document that indeed seems much nicer, I can try and investigate that approach (unless this is already being worked on based on what is mentioned above?)

An element inserted to a `DocumentFragment` is never `connected` so I think it would solve this.

Note that multiple in-flight and upcoming changes like https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/11818 are doing this work through redirecting the insertion target (see https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/parsing.html#appropriate-place-for-inserting-a-node). This would probably be the place to fix it as well. I would prefer if we do this after these in-flight changes are complete though.
