I just tried evaluating both in FF6 using three different JS shells (web console, scratchpad, and squarefree). In each case, document.NODE_ELEMENT returned 1 and Document.NODE_ELEMENT returned undefined. Ah, ELEMENT_NODE doesn't live on the Document interface, it lives on the Node interface. So both the Node constructor and all instances of the Node interface (such as document) have the ELEMENT_NODE property. I'm not married to having instances contain constants though. If no other browsers do that, then it's likely not required for webcompat and could be dropped. / Jonas
