Well, consider that HTML == root. There is nothing outside of HTML. It's like the galaxy: you know there _has_ to be something, but there isn't. Not even another galaxy, as far as we know. Also consider that IE wrongly implements HTML as a child of something bigger (* html anyone?), but that's CSS and thus OT. As far as I'm concerned, this is bad behaviour.
