I thought we had agreed to drop tags() everywhere except for the document.all collection. I guess the collection returned by document.all.foo wasn't discussed back then, though. Opera and Firefox don't support tags() there, which suggests it's not needed for compat, so maybe the spec should side with Opera/Firefox and return HTMLCollection instead of HTMLAllCollection. -- Simon Pieters Opera Software
