Does it particularly matter that collection.item(999) returns null while
collection['999'] evaluates to undefined? To me, it makes sense enough.
Functions and properties that returns Nodes, and which have no Node to
return, return null. I think for consistency with all of these other
funtions and properties, it is preferable to return null from
collection.item(). That’s a much bigger (better) consistency to strive
for than one between collection.item(999) and collection['999'], IMO.
It is certainly my goal to make CSSOM (and anything else I edit)
consistent with this if that was the (indirect) question (not sure why
else I would be on the cc list). I just have not familiarized myself yet
with the particulars of Web IDL in this area (and have not been working on
CSSOM for a while).
