Okay, so could you add a note explaining what kind of active Document is *not*
"fully active"?  After reading very carefully for a few minutes and pondering
a bit, I *think* it would be a Document that is the active Document of its
browsing context, but where that browsing context itself is the descendant of
a Document that's not active in its browsing context.  So like an iframe in an
inactive document.  But I wouldn't bet my house on it (if I had one).

I found the recursive definition confusing, mainly since I found the definition of "the Document through which that browsing context is nested" confusing.  But I guess it's clear if you read carefully enough, so if you don't think it needs clarification, I'm not going to insist.
