HTML5 includes an innerHTML attribute in the HTMLDocument interface definition, which should basically behave like the innerHTML on Element. See <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/apis-in-html-documents.html#dom-innerhtml> for details.

The most interesting difference between Document's innerHTML and Element's innerHTML is that the Document case is the only time when parsing a fragment should have no context element. This is important since we have implemented several optimizations to fragment parsing that assume there is always a context element, but there won't be in this case.

In a W3C bug discussing context-less fragments, it was mentioned that document.innerHTML is prescriptive, rather than descriptive of existing web content. See <http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12031>.
