Even so the non-standardness infects all of code that uses it:

doc = myCreateDocumentIndirectionDevice( foo );

Not a big deal but I think that the DOM people still made a minor mistake
in the place they chose to stop the "infinite regress." Even if you are
calling a wrapper function it is better to call a wrapper in one place
instead of many.
