Everyone who? And based on what? I don't see anything in the spec that suggests that. And as Olli pointed out there is clearly language in the spec that indicates that the inserted node would be after the range in the collapsed case. I guess I'm fine with making the change to the spec, but it would be a change and not an errata. And if we're making changes anyway, I would requests that we make NodeIterators behave like TreeWalkers as far as the returnvalue for the NodeFilter goes. That is both more useful and easier to implement since it allows more code reuse. / Jonas
