Refer directly to "node document" instead of "the node's document" etc...
Now that dom.spec.whatwg.org defines ownerDocument formally, we can get rid of
the old round-about way of referring to it that the HTML spec uses everywhere.
e.g. "the Document object with which subject in question is associated" can
become "the node document of subject" and "'s Document" can be replaced with
"'s node document" pretty much everywhere, with the definition of "Document of
a node" removed.

Checked in as WHATWG revision r8742.
Check-in comment: Make use of the DOM spec's 'node document' concept. I sure would appreciate careful review of this diff, since it is quite likely that I made some mistakes.
