           Summary: Unknown HTML elements should use the
                    HTMLUnknownElement interface
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML DOM
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: peter at lvp-media.com


Per the HTML5 specification[1], any element which are not defined by any of the specifications should use the HTMLUnknownElement interface rather than the HTMLElement interface, as currently is the case on WebKit. Opera and Firefox already implement this behaviour, and according to MSDN[2] Internet Explorer 8 does this as well.
