jQuery.data and $().data are different things

[sir.mordred.service@…]

I've read 10027, and I'm still scratching my head and the docs say nothing on this. Are these supposed to be different?

Here's a fiddle:

It says: false - b - c Should say: true - b - b

The first argument that is to be passed to jQuery.hasData and jQuery.data is a DOM element, *not* a jQuery object. When you follow this (documented) requirement, I believe the results are as expected.
