My 2 cents - rendering a document PiP would be great, but it wouldn't help our use case unless we also have interactivity - the reason we want a document is precisely *because* we want the user to be able to interact with the PiP. Rendering a document while keeping the video controls would be an acceptable fallback, but wouldn't really add too much value for our use case.
