I skimmed through our bug report on the issue and it seems that nobody was really in favor of what Gecko was doing. Violating the ECMAScript specification was apparently much more straightforward, and would not give weird results when assigning document.all to a variable. Or that document.all == undefined is true but document.all == document.all is false. (I also got a comment to the effect that too much time is wasted on document.all, though I personally think it is worthwhile to document how it ought to work given that every browser had to implement it and converged to hiding it.) -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
