Comment:
Based on my testing (http://jsfiddle.net/jAx2t/4/) document.all's named getter
returns by name select and input elements as well in IE11 / Chrome 32 /
Firefox . Should the specification be updated to match the behavior of
existing implementations?

Firefox 27 also returns select and input elements by name (also tested with http://jsfiddle.net/jAx2t/4/).
Comment 2 contributor 2014-02-21 22:09:45 UTC 
Checked in as WHATWG revision r8501.
Check-in comment: Update the list of elements that support name='' attributes for the purposes of document.all (mostly using the IE/Firefox lists, which are nearly identical, and a superset of Safari/Chrome)
