The following uDOM Node methods and attributes have minor textual differences from the corresponding DOM Level 3 methods, but where the intent seems to be to define them identically: namespaceURI localName parentNode ownerDocument cloneNode The textual differences fall into two categories: A: not specifying behavior for particular edge cases (like parentNode on a node outside the document, or ownerDocument on a document) B: omitting verbiage relating to concepts not present in uDOM, like Attr nodes. I think category A differences are actively harmful, as they may lead to interpretations that conflict with the DOM. I think Category B differences are not particularly valuable, as additional text noting aspects that don't apply would be sufficient. Therefore, for all these methods and properties, I recommend quoting verbatim or better yet normatively referencing the DOM Level 3 Core definitions. Regards, Maciej
