Description

(Breaking out https://github.com/json-schema-org/referencing/pull/2#discussion_r1004993311 into an issue.)

While it probably makes sense in most use cases, it's possible that the root value of a document could be an array or other valid JSON value.

The spec should have language that accounts for this.
