I'm surprised. document.write is defined but it's substantially different  
 from what the browsers implement. DOM 2 says that write() can be called  
only between calls to open() and close(), and that a call to open() clears  
the existing content of the document. This is very different from the  
current practice of calling write() without open() to inject unparsed HTML  
into an already-parsed document.

So, I should change my statement from "document.write is not standardized"  
to "calling document.write without first calling document.open is not  
standardized".
