Only to clarify or to fix bugs that were found. So I guess it is fair to ask for a summary of changes. Here it is: * wstring changed to DOMString * changed Attribute interface to Attr * moved pi to extended interfaces * even though this can't be formerly specified in IDL some attributes are now defined to raise an exception on setting or getting. This concerns CharacterData.data, Node.dataValue, and ProcessingInstruction.data * added text about duplicate entities and notations being discarded * added text about entities and notations not being editable in any way * changed INVALID_NAME_ERR to INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR * added INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR exception to createEntityReference * added text about the Entity nodes being readonly and not having any parent * changed ExceptionCode to unsigned short * added text about HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR being raised by Node.insertBefore/replaceChild/appendChild when the specified node is one of this node's ancestors. * added text about the Notation nodes being readonly and not having any parent. * HTMLDocument.getElementById() returns null and not void if no matching elements exist. * changed attributes HTMLSelectElement.options and HTMLSelectElement.length to readonly. * clarified description of attribute HTMLTaleElement.rows * changed attribute HTMLTableElement.tBodies to readonly * TMLTableElement.tHead and TMLTableElement.tFoot return null and not void if no such element exists. * changed description of HTMLTableRowElement.insertCell() to make it clear it inserts TD elements. * changed attribute HTMLTableSectionElement.rows to readonly. * added missing HTMLTextAreaElement.value attribute * added a References section I hope this helps. -- Arnaud Le Hors - W3C, DOM Activity Lead - www.w3.org/People/Arnaud
