Details

The problem is that a slotless XUL element not in a document will defer to the
prototype (if there is one) for the nodeinfo.  So GetOwnerDoc() will return the
prototype document, not the actual XUL document.

Now this situation doesn't arise much, currently, since creation of elements off
prototypes always sets mDocument.  But that's a bug in some cases (eg CloneNode()).

So we really need to fix this to allow us to fix bug 53901 (and bug 226620).
See also the slightly related bug 255077.

Fixed by bug 198533, looks like.

smaug, please reopen if I'm wrong?
