Special Element for Document Element(<html/> tag)

[muhammad-usman-anwar]

Describe the problem

I was in need to bind lang and dir attributes of documentElement, unable to find any first party solution to it. Had to resort manual dom manipulation using document.documentElement. Also looked into Skeleton UI's source code, it also has some what similar approach to mine. In official documentation, I was able to find the following special elements.

Describe the proposed solution

Its implementation should be similar to <svelte:head/> where you can bind to its arrtibutes, like <svelte:dom/> or <svelte:html/>. Or may be expose its attributes through, <svelte:document/> special element

Came here to suggest this too. This issue is a duplicate of #8663 which has had more engagement.
