pre html5 if you used <math> in html (and for example styled it with css) then
innerHTML and friends would work, but HTML5, as a side effect of specifying
<math> explicitly is in "foreign content" has apparently stopped this working.

Why should the user care in which room at tpac each element was originally
defined, getElementById for example returns any element whether it's html or
mathml or svg, but then if you use innerHTML on the returned node it either
works or returns undefined, depending.
