Subj : Looking for standards document

Hello,

    We have noticed that most browsers allow an element of
a form to be accessed as follows:

    document.forms[0][0]

    Basically, double-indexing forms array gives corresponding
element of elements array of that form.

    Similarly, one can reference an option of select using
an index on select element, ie, formName.selName[n] refers
to n'th option of the select element with name 'selName' in
form named 'formName'.

    Can somebody refer me to the standards document that
mandates this? I have gone through most documents and
cant find anywhere this has been mentioned. Currently my
embedding does not support this feature and I need to
assess the necessity of supporting it.

   Thanks in advance.

Milind
