bzbarsky has just created a new issue for = https://github.com/whatwg/dom: =3D=3D getElementsByTagName needs to be clearer on when the same object = can or can't be returned =3D=3D In particular, it looks to me like at call-time the = `getElementsByTagName` call captures the HTML-ness of _root_'s node = document at the time it's called. So if that HTML-ness changes, a new object needs to be returned. I put a testcase at = http://web.mit.edu/bzbarsky/www/testcases/dom-queries/test_getElementsByTag= Name_1.html which tries to exercise some of the edge-cases here. See https://github.com/whatwg/dom/issues/90
