I can't see anything in the DOMCore spec that references the fact that
HTML defines lots of Element subclasses and that createElement('table'),
for example, is supposed to return an instance of HTMLTableElement.
Also, it is unclear to me what should happen if d is a document returned
by createDocument (not createHTMLDocument) and I call
d.createElement("table"). The spec is clear that the element will use
the HTML namespace, but it is not clear whether the resulting object is
instanceof HTMLTableElement or just Element.
createElementNS() is similarly underspecified: under what circumstances
does it create instances of the HTML-specific interfaces defined in the
HTML spec?
