Hi, http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2005Dec/0017.html has some observations how FireFox 1.5, Opera9, ASV6, SVG# 0.4, and Batik handle changing the .prefix attribute of Attr nodes that are namespace declarations. My reading of DOM Level 3 Core is that only FireFox con- forms to the specification. I don't think that this behavior is obvious though, and it seems the specification should be clarified what is re- quired here. I think DOM Level 3 Core is confusing about the range of checks DOM implementations have to perform to prevent states that would render a document namespace-illformed, create/setAttributeNS for example prevent certain states, but that can be worked around by manipulating .prefix, .value, etc. So I'm not really sure whether FireFox's behavior is actually desired... regards, -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
