Why is 'item' special in IE's global scope?

Ergens gevonden binnen een discussie uit 2003.Since IE puts every object with a name or ID in the global scope, I wouldn't be surprised if it reserves item as a property of window
window.item(0)
being equivalent to the first element with a name or ID.

Yes, it's a result of MS having built DOM on top of their document.all object model. This is just something I recently found in a case where it was the cause of strange behaviour in IE.
