What you mean is: - iOS apps are unlikely to accidentally depend on subtleties in document.all behavior since they were authored long after there was a need, But this ignores the likelihood that these apps may include very old versions of libraries originally designed for the web. I am optimistic this will not be the case, but I don’t know that we can confidently state that.

I am pretty sure we can state that: `document.all` was introduced in IE4 as a regular IDL attribute; it was never replaceable. For a legacy web library to be cross-browser, it couldn't depend on `document.all` being reassignable. Updated ChangeLog to mention this.
