Actually that wouldn't work as &dom.root().document() would fail to
compile.  (not without caching document_ref in node_ref)  But this might
be ok..

dom::document doc;
dom::document_ref doc2( doc.root().document() );
assert( &doc2 == &doc );

and...

assert( doc2 == doc );

Can be implemented but ideally it would compare all the nodes in the
document.
