If this is a MUST, this seems like a possible compat issue depending on whether the method is native or library-provided, at the very least. There's also been talk at least in Gecko of self-hosting some DOM methods in JS (e.g. getElementById), at which point they will no longer be implemented in native code.<br>

I'm not sure this is a fatal issue (and I haven't been following this thread closely enough in general to be sure of anything); just pointing out that it's an issue.<br><font color="#888888">
