Id attributes should become global JS variables #12853

I suppose the problem is well known, but I couldn't find an issue about it. Each id attribute defined on an element should create a JS global pointing to the element:

<!doctype html>
<title>Id attribute should be available as JS globals</title>
<p id="foo">This should be replaced by the script below.<p>
<script>
if(typeof foo !== "undefined")
    foo.innerHTML="Sucessfully updated by setting <code>foo.innerHTML</code>."
</script>

Closing as duplicate of #8984, but thanks for filing the issue anyway!

Great, I couldn't find it (lack of specialized vocabulary).

Good to know it is indeed on the radar.
