Description Dominic Cooney 2013-05-16 06:02:19 UTC 
"If NAME is an invalid custom element name, throw an InvalidCharacterError and stop."

Perhaps a different error should be thrown for one of these illegal values?
Comment 1 Dimitri Glazkov 2013-05-22 21:42:58 UTC 
I can throw SyntaxError? Hoping to avoid inventing my own exceptions :)
Comment 2 Dominic Cooney 2013-05-22 23:32:26 UTC 
SyntaxError was born to be raised in this case.
