See my post (""VK") again please:

document.forms[0].elements[0].name
   or
document.forms[0].elements['name'].name

Yes, and to complete the fun, you can add to your form
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">

and now try document.forms[0].submit();

Conclusion:
1) do not name elements using property names as names. Are we short on
vocabulary? ;-)
2) do not try to explain form and form elements using DOM1 or DOM2.
This is a pre-historic construction kept for legacy requirements. Use
*form methods* for forms.

It is not a bug and I doubt very much that it will be ever fixed in the
way you want. But if it makes you feel better, you may complain to:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org
http://support.microsoft.com/ph/2073
https://bugs.opera.com/wizard/

(ask for more when you are done with above).
