CMD-L brings focus to the Address Bar. Is there are shortcut key for toggling back to the document of the current tab? How else might I achieve this other than a keyboard shortcut built in to Safari?

Safari 7

This should change the shortcut to ⇧⌘Q for most currently installed applications:
defaults write -g NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add $(mdfind kMDItemContentType==com.apple.application-bundle | grep -v { |
sed 's/.*\//Quit /g;s/\.app$//g;'"s/'/\\''\\'/g;s/^/'/g;s/$/' '\$@q'/g" | uniq | tr '\n' ' ')
You could also use KeyRemap4MacBook to change ⌘Q to some other key combination or require holding or pressing it twice to quit an application.
You can use Karabiner with a private.xml such as this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
<appdef>
<appname>SAFARI</appname>
<equal>com.apple.Safari</equal>
</appdef>
<item>
<name>Swap ⌥↩︎ and ⌘↩︎</name>
<identifier>SwapAltEnterAndCmdEnter</identifier>
<only>SAFARI</only>
<autogen>
__KeyToKey__
KeyCode::RETURN, VK_COMMAND | ModifierFlag::NONE,
KeyCode::RETURN, ModifierFlag::OPTION_L
</autogen>
<autogen>
__KeyToKey__
KeyCode::RETURN, VK_OPTION | ModifierFlag::NONE,
KeyCode::RETURN, ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L
</autogen>
</item>
</root>
You can find the manual here to know how to edit the private.xml file and update your configuration.
You have to check the small checkbox of the newly defined rule to make it work.

You can ⇥ back, or alternatively ⇧⇥ which is usually faster.
It takes me two presses of ⇧⇥ to get back from the address bar to the page: one to move to the Add to Reading List button and one to get back to the page. This may be higher if you have the back/forward buttons on the toolbar, and lower if you have Full Keyboard Access disabled in System Preferences.
You can use Keyboard Maestro to create a macro which lets you get back to the page with a single keyboard shortcut.
