The current DOM standard says DocumentType.internalSubset should be removed:
https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-documenttype-internalsubset
It looks like Chrome has already removed it:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=272096
http://codereview.chromium.org/282823004
It seems the change stuck, because my Chrome 45 doesn't support it.
This suggests it's safe to remove.

SGTM. It seems that the internal subset string was for non-HTML parsers to
use for whatever SGML/XML processing, so it should be OK to yank it from
the DOM. I can't find any docs on why it was added to the DOM in the first
place, so I can't comment on use cases we have to cover with an alternative
API.
