Support summary

Notes

  1. The spec requires that comparisons of nodes in different documents, and comparisons where at least one node is not in any document, must arbitrarily (but consistently) set either the `DOCUMENT_POSITION_PRECEDING` or `DOCUMENT_POSITION_FOLLOWING` bit in the result. These browser versions don't set either bit in some such cases.
  2. Sets neither the `DOCUMENT_POSITION_DISCONNECTED` bit nor the `DOCUMENT_POSITION_IMPLEMENTATION_SPECIFIC` bit in some cases when comparing nodes in different documents or when comparing a node which is not in any document.
