Description Cameron McCormack 2010-10-07 22:47:47 UTC 
Out of Firefox nightly, Opera 10.62, Safari 5.0.2, Chrome 7.0.544 and IE9b, only Chrome implements the name getter.  Is it needed?  Can we remove it?  It is redundant with the name getter on HTMLOptionsCollection.  There are also many more names on HTMLSelectElement that would shadow the named properties compared to HTMLOptionsCollection.
