It's hard to guess what the original motivation was, and I have never been a member of the DOM WG (and joined the IG fairly recently), but I do think that it makes some sense: after all, the DOM will often be an adapter interface to an entirely different structure, like a set of database tables, and in such a contexts, createDocument might not make sense at all. Now, that said, it would be possible to have createDocument simply throw an exception when it's inappropriate.
