We *did* debate this during the design of the DOM. The distinction between null and empty string was considered meaningful, for the reasons that have been pointed out. Folks are welcome to disagree with our decision, but there is absolutely no way it can be considered an erratum. And it's MUCH too late to propose it as a functional change to the DOM. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman, IBM Next-Generation Web Technologies: XML, XSL and more.
