Re: [dom] Having getElementsByTagName match on localName is not "web"-compatible for IE and Firefox (#143)

It seems pretty hard to guess about the risks here. Ignoring case folding for a moment, I think there are three possibilities given what has been implemented in various browsers:
1. The input contains no `:` and the author expects to match on localName.
2. The input contains no `:` and the author expects to match on qualified name.
3. The input contains `:` and the author expects to match on qualified name.

This is crazy talk, but it's *possible* that 1+3 would be the most compatible.
