Elements in an HTML document will generate the specific subclasses. However, the document object will not be an HTMLDocument (at least not currently - we may reconsider this in the future; there are complications with things like document.write).
OK, now I'm seeing the behavior you expected. However, there's a strange side-effect to this. The elements existing in the document upon load are instantiated as DOMHTML* subclasses while the elements I create with the DOMDocument createElement are now DOMElement classes. So now I have meta elements of class DOMelement and meta elements of class DOMHTMLMetaElement. I can work with this, but its a bit peculiar.
If you want to make HTML elements from an XML document you have to use createElementNS with the xhtml namespace, not createElement. Regards, Maciej
