I believe this could be shortened like so:

Element.addMethods({
  isOrphaned: function(element){
    if (element.id) {
      return !!element.ownerDocument.getElementById(element.id);
    }
    return !!element.up('body');
  }
});

Do you necessarily have to do .up('body') (instead of just .up())?
