           Summary: Spec doesn't match IE when calling insertAdjacentHTML
                    with position afterend or beforebegin on head or body
           Product: HTML WG
           Version: unspecified

IE9, IE8 and IE6 (IE7 not tested) behaves as if the context node for fragment
parsing in the insertAdjacentHTML case was "body" when it logically should be
"html".

Since it's their API originally, I think it would be prudent to codify this
quirk in the spec.

Note that there is precedent: The same quirk exists in
Range::createContextualFragment.
