-1 from me

I don't think DOM Document and DocumentFragment are consistent with what 
I perceive to be desired. Are there definitions of 'Page' and 'Pagelet' 
somewhere?

The DOM core definition talks about XML trees. You can have a whole tree 
(a Document) and part of a tree (a DocumentFragment). There are other 
W3C recommendations that probably use different language. The whole 
pagelet stuff I believe is far more about layout and presentation 
concerns, something the DOM core is not about. I think it would be 
confusing to use these DOM terms.
