I'm very surprised. IE returns a collection when doing document.something
and several elements are named that way, too.
Maybe it has a special case for form names (and doesn't return the input
elements when doing document.myname) ... but even then,
document.myname.myname would still return a collection, that's 100% sure,
so how would .value work? Which element should be picked up?
This code looks really wrong to me, but well, I know that this is never an answer ;)
The question is, what does IE return for document.myname and
document.myname.myname? Can anyone test that?
(Mozilla doesn't support document.myname anyway....)

Hmm, this means we have no list -> string conversion. What does IE show?
