Re exception on NamedNodeMap out of range: I think that's the same issue as "why do the stream operations return the character -1 at end of file rather than throwing an exception?" It boils down to a combination of aesthetics and convenience of coding and traditional programming practice... I can argue this one either way, but it's not obviously wrong as it stands. Running out of memory: This is an implementation issue, not a DOM issue, I think. I'd trust the language to figure out how to throw an appropriate exception in this case, since it should already know how and (as you point out) we can't be trusted to do so. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research Unless stated otherwise, all opinions are solely those of the author.
