Thank you Boris for going into more details on the implementation experience. > Of most concern to me are these two items: > > 1) Are none of these tests specifically testing createElement on a > non-HTML document?

Correct. I found this choice was discussed in: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=19431 The whiteboard field says "blocked on implementers weighing in". Looking at the Mozilla bug as well, it seems it's waiting on someone to just make the call: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799937 Given that no implementation are following the spec after 2 years, it seems it's time to revert the change.
