I think the original intent was that a document might be presented in
multiple ways. For instance, Firefox used to (theoretically) support
displaying the same document in both regular and print preview mode at
the same time. One document, but different styles used for each mode.

Some implementation might also want to replicate that, which is why
getComputedStyle is defined on a 'view' rather than on a document.
