    <thetext>The spec says: &quot;When an unresolved element is created, its element interface must be: the HTMLElement, if the namespace is HTML Namespace;&quot;

I think it would be appropriate to add commentary about the implications of this for implementers, because the HTML spec says:

&quot;The HTMLUnknownElement interface must be used for HTML elements that are not defined by this specification (or other applicable specifications).&quot;

Assuming a user agent treats Custom Elements as an applicable specification, this means any element whose name is valid will now have HTMLElement and not HTMLUnknownElement as an interface.</thetext>
