Given that all the top 4 engines generate a different DOM for isindex and 
arguably Gecko (with the old parser) is the most sane, why does the spec align 
with IE instead of Gecko? Could the spec please align with Gecko (with the old 
parser)?

Problems with the parser macro include:
 1) Special memory management cases due to generated attributes (done and 
broken several times).
 2) Form submission changes required (not done yet).
 3) Incompatibility with the W3C DOM Level 2 HTML test suite.
 4) Disparity with document.createElement("isindex");
 5) Disparity with XHTML.
