For what it's worth, Firefox fails the XHTML version of the test, but it also
fails the HTML version. Opera passes. IE is not testable because it does not
support XHTML at all, but I am pretty sure it would pass the HTML version.

For HTML, I think our choice to emulate the IE compat quirk is sound. For XHTML
I could see an argument either way.

PRO: HTML and XHTML should behave the same to the degree possible.
CON: We shouldn't import this HTML quirk into XHTML (it makes programming
tricky since you have unexpeced things in your global namespace), and since
Firefox is the leading XHTML-based browser we should try to emulate them for
XHTML content.

Either way we should have this match between V8 and JSC based versions of
WebKit.
