Gecko and WebKit (but not Opera, it seems) lower-case the getElementByTagName() argument in text/html and element selectors in style sheets that apply to text/html. Making the comparisons actually case-sensitive seems bad at least in the context of Gecko. This means that unless getElementByTagName() and the CSS parser also use the magic camelCase list, it's impossible to use element selectors or getElementByTagName() on SVG elements with camelCase names. The spec should probably prescribe the camelCase list to be used for getElementByTagName() and the CSS parser. However, those lack the context the HTML parser has, so textArea can't be put on the list. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
