True, but Document (in the DOM) and NSDocument are non-parallel in  
exactly the same way. The root of the problem is overloading of the  
AppKit and DOM senses of the term "document". I could call the  
WebCore one FrameController (or even just Frame) but I think that  
would be less clear about it's actual relationship to the document.
