Test case:

data:text/html,<!doctype html>
 <script>
 alert(document.createElement('button').type);
 </script>

Should alert "" per spec, actually alerts "submit".  Likewise:

data:text/html,<!doctype html>
 <script>
 var el = document.createElement('button');
 el.type = 'foo';
 alert(el.type);
 </script>

Should alert "foo", actually alerts "submit".  Tested in Firefox 4, Chrome dev, Opera 10.60.

FIXED seems more appropriate than WORKSFORME, no?
