As this specifically applies to .ownerDocument, note that lots of 
elements have all sorts of behavior that depends on the document that 
they're associated with, and that developers using the platform use 
those features every single day.

Making newly-created elements not be associated with a document would 
cause them to be pretty broken in all sorts of interesting ways...
