Status: Partially Accepted
Change Description: see diff given below
Rationale:

document.width and .height belong in CSSOM if anywhere.

Added document.clear().

captureEvents(), releaseEvents(), and routeEvent() belong in DOM Events if anywhere.

document.execCommandShowHelp() is not supported everywhere, doesn't do the same thing where supported, and doesn't seem to do anything useful in any case. So I don't think speccing it would be useful. It's not clear that it is needed for interop.

document.queryCommandText() only seems to work in IE. It's not clear that it is needed for interop.

Checked in as WHATWG revision r4565.
