Hi all, Currently the spec says that should a script try to retrieve an inexistent object from a NamedFlowCollection, either by using an out-of-range index or an invalid name, it should return *null*. I think it would be better to return *undefined* instead, for a couple of reasons: * Currently all JavaScript and HTMLCollection-s return *undefined* for invalid keys (e.g. Array, document.forms, document.querySelectorAll() ) * Also, in general, null doesn't mean that there's nothing there, but actually that something might be there, but it's not a definite object (yet) Anyone has any thoughts on this? Thanks, m. Mihai Balan | Quality Engineer / WebKit team | mibalan@adobe.com<mailto:mibalan@adobe.com> | +4-031.413.3653 / x83653 | Adobe Systems Romania
