           Summary: Document.createElement name validation inconsistent
                    with HTML parse rules
           Product: WebAppsWG
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW

Document.createElement name validation rules
(https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/domcore/raw-file/tip/Overview.html#dom-document-createelement)
uses different validation from the HTML parser
(http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/tokenization.html#tag-name-state).
This means that elements can be created via the parser which cannot be created
via createElement.

The parser rules are much more permissive. For what it's worth, I do not
believe that any two browsers support the same exact set of unicode characters
for document.createElement.
