It seemed like an agreement was being converged on, but it wasn’t apparent to me what exactly the changes being proposed were. I just read back through the thread and I have a better idea of what’s being discussed now. :-) To me, it would seem to be confusing if getElementsByTagName() behaved differently depending on whether it was called on an HTML node or a different kind of node. It would make more sense to me if it did case insensitive matching for an element in the subtree if it were an HTML element, and case sensitive otherwise (assuming we don’t want to make everything case insensitive in HTML documents, including foreign content nodes). Also, I would expect selectors to just work case insensitively all the time. -- Cameron McCormack ≝ http://mcc.id.au/
