The gdome2 target is to be as compliant as possible to the DOM Level 2
spec, so this a bug.

I can correct the implementation or the documentation... I've no
preferences. Nevertheless we have to think to those people that could use
the DOM spec as reference. Those people could find some problems using the
official DOM spec of the ownerDocument method as an invariant.
I don't know how many developers have this problem, so I think that the
better way to resolve this bug is to correct the implementation.

Is it a problem for you?

Thanx,
