Is it possible to have documentation explaining the concept of documentId and reference that from all articles that mention it? Having such an article would also offer a place for a full listing of all APIs recognizing documentId one way or another. That list would initially be the same as the release notes here, but would be expanded over time as more features are added that build upon it.
You can find some explanation of why tabId+documentId can be preferred over tabId+frameId at w3c/webextensions#8
And for context: although there is currently no API to target a document by documentId only, there are discussions in the WECG about dropping the tabId requirement when documentId is used, e.g. w3c/webextensions#91
