.html could work for document too

Description

It would be nice if:

$(document).html(something)

was equivalent to:

document.open();
document.write(something);
document.close();

This could also be used for replacing the contents of an iframe. Like so:

$('iframe.foo').contents().html(something);

This doesn't seem that useful.

It seems like the right thing for the "html()" method to do when applied to a document. It's clearly useful if you're changing the contents of an iframe. Can you please elaborate a bit more on the reasonings behind this decision?

Thanks,
