On John Resig's tests in particular, every single failure in Gecko is 
due to a violation of this part of the API:

   Undefined=Empty

This is using a WebIDL syntax from a working draft that we don't 
implement yet, and the current JavaScript DOM binding in Gecko always 
converts undefined in parameters to the string "undefined".

If this part of WebIDL is stable, we can go ahead and implement it, but 
I see no obvious evidence of that from the WebIDL working draft.
