Agreed,

This bug (and the corresponding bug in IE Feedback can be tracked
here:http://webbugtrack.blogspot.com/2007/08/bug-186-cant-prototype-on-htmlelements.html

A bug would be a discrepancy between actual behaviour and required
behaviour. As there is no requirement that DOM interface prototypes be
exposed their not being exposed cannot be a bug. Correcting a
discrepancy between actual behaviour and desired behaviour would be an
enhancement.

Incidentally, the "bug" report is not particularly accurate as it
asserts that there are no workarounds, while there are many.
(Including, but not restricted to, Prototypes.js' strategy of using a
single function to retrieve all elements and having that function
directly modify the elements it retrieves).
