Proprietary, only specified there because the vendors of the browsers whose 
representatives command the WHATWG, for some weird reason thought it would 
be a pretty neat idea to start supporting obsolete IE/MSHTML features.  
Surprisingly, and unfortunately, that included Mozilla which, at some point 
in time after they went commercial, started to support “document.all” when 
“document.all” was already obsolete in MSHTML thanks to introducing W3C DOM 
support.
