Correct, the "ownerDocument" will always be available, but it will
reference the "document" you used to create the element
(document.createElement), which may be a different one than the one
jQuery was loaded in.

It is not enough to check the first parent node, you will have to
traverse up until the last parent is found, if the last parent is not
"nodeType == 9" (a document node) it means the element is detached
from a DOM tree.

I believe that native compareDocumentPosition/contains are much
faster.
