I think it's time to let it drop. You've had several of the core developers--the guys with commit access to the repository--say no.(Given that I'm not a core dev, I don't get much of a vote here, but FWIW I agree: leave $() alone. IE's practice is both misguided and easy to work around.)
Agreed. This is an edge case, and I don't buy the "I don't have control over my HTML" argument. If you're using Prototype and you don't have control over your HTML, it's a political issue, not a technical one, and that's not what Prototype aims to fix.
You're more than welcome, of course, to override $ if you need this behavior. It's extremely easy to do in Prototype trunk using Function#wrap.
