We did discuss and agree to this last year: http://www.w3.org/2012/09/19-svg-minutes.html#item04 and Erik made the change shortly afterwards. https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/struct.html#InterfaceSVGDocument The only "interesting" attribute there is rootElement. And that isn't particularly interesting, though people do use it, so we can't get rid of it. I don't think there's any real downside to having rootElement exist on all Document objects.
