No need to excuse the question.  It's a reasonable one.  The answer is
yes.

It's a shame you didn't say that that up front.  Given that you did say
you couldn't find what the specification says, coming clean about not
knowing what browser you where using would probably have prevented
anyone commenting!  It was the confidently stated incorrect remarks that
got people answering.

No one wants to see the old code.  Its the incorrect remarks you made
about a code fragment posted here that got people commenting.  In
particular, your remark that the language spec did not say what the
correct behaviour should be when in fact it does (and it did at the time
you specified).
