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.

PS: Neal, sorry for the double mail.
