On the most recent DOM 3 Core working draft, fourth bullet point for isEqualNode states that "normalization can affect equality; to avoid this, nodes should be normalized before being compared." <http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-DOM-Level-3-Core-20020409/core.html#Node3-isEqualNode> However, the draft does not say who should do the normalization. One would expect the user to be responsible for this before calling isEqualNode(), but the way it is written makes it sound as if the implementation should do the normalization, since the note about normalization is thrown into the section on what the implementation should check when testing for node equality, in addition to not explicitly stating who should be responsible for the normalization. A clarification of this would be much appreciated. Christopher Aillon Netscape Communications Corp.
