It should work!

Most references to "the document" are about FontFaceSet, which at
least has a clearer implicit connection to "the document", but I
should definitely be clearer about things there.  The couple of
references to "the document" for FontFace do indeed need to be cleared
up; in particular, I need to clarify that CSS-connectedness is broken
when they move across documents.
