[Bug 24271] Document.createElement name validation inconsistent with HTML parse rules

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24271

--- Comment #6 from Anne <annevk@annevk.nl> ---
As far as I can tell Chrome is compliant per 5th. Firefox wants to follow 4th
but actually does not do that (it allows U+00B5 in XML). Not sure about IE11.
However, none of that makes it clear whether we can allow the kind of names
HTML allows, such as "x,".

I recommend that if people want to take this further they get browsers to
experiment with what is possible. I'd be happy to throw less exceptions here.
I'm also happy to break the tie with XML if it's demonstrated that is possible.

If you file bugs on browsers to do those experiments please cross-link with
this bug.
