Yeah!

This was not my specific concern as it seems the only case that didn't  
work for us was <iframe> because we hadn't implemented it on <iframe> (and  
also not on <frame>, but that's not tested).

Mostly I don't think we need getSVGDocument() at all, but apparently  
there's some content using it so the simplest solution seems to make it an  
alias for contentDocument (and maybe deprecate it, indeed, although if  
that doesn't lead to removal in the future I'm not sure if it's worth it).
