The problem appears to be that the test in BrowserFeatures to know
whether to set SpecificElementExtensions to true or false is returning
"true" in Firefox 2.0.x.x.  Therefore, in Element.extend, all of the
code to actually perform the extensions are not called.

"So?" you may ask.  "Surely the point of the test is that the
extensions don't need to be done; that's the whole point of that
flag."  Generally that's true - but what about when code in one
document is called from code in another document, one which doesn't
even include prototype.js?

It is in exactly this case that I'm being affected by the behavior. My
application involves a lot of iframes, and a *lot* of pages. We've
only begun using prototype lately, so many legacy pages do not yet
include prototype.js.  When a call is made via a reference to "top" or
"parent", things can go wrong.
