Yes, document.createElement exists and is documented. But check the links at the bottom of the page: the function comes from the DOM and HTML5 specs, not from the Javascript spec.

Your link actually shows it's not part of the EMCAScript specification :)

No worries just a common misconception; the DOM API is part of HTML and DOM specifications.
