I know where to find standards, recommendations, etc

But my problem is, how should I know that that is what is implemented by
Mozilla?

I also have downloaded (in 2002) a nice document "Gecko DOM Reference" (pdf,
more than 300 pages) which states on page 15:

DOM Elements Interface
In this case, 'Elements' refers to the interface that all HTML and XML
elements have available to them from the DOM. There are more specialized
interfaces for particular objects-the BODY element, for example, has extra
functions and properties you can use, as do tables. This chapter refers to
the interface that all elements share.
And then it presents a list of methods among which (pag. 18) 'click'

Why is there not a clear list on the devedge page that indicates which
documents are authoritative?

And, by the way, is it really true that you cannot click an anchor-element,
an element that asks for being clicked?
