Valere e68d1d1b5f Say what the root element seam cannot do yet
RootElementContext's documentation promised that Element Call confines its
decoration to the given element, but several selectors still name body
directly and the initializer writes data-platform onto it. A non-body root
is decorated correctly and styled incorrectly, with no error to show for
it, so the documentation should say so until the stylesheets are scoped.

/**
* The element that Element Call treats as the root of its own interface.
*
* Element Call decorates this element with the theme, layout and background
* attributes its stylesheets key off, and portals its modals into it. When
* Element Call owns the page this is simply the document body; the intent is
* that when embedded in a host application it becomes the container the host
* mounted it into, so that Element Call does not reach outside its own subtree.
*
* That intent is not yet achievable: several selectors still name `body`
* directly — `body[data-background="gradient"]` and `body[data-platform=…]` in
* `index.css`, and `body[data-platform="ios"]` in `AppBar.module.css` and
* `Modal.module.css` — and `Initializer.initBeforeReact` writes
* `data-platform` straight onto the body. So anything other than the body will
* be decorated correctly and styled incorrectly, silently. Until those are
* scoped, treat this as preparation rather than a working seam.
