Re: 15 Insert/Delete Examples updated in Editor's draft

John,

Wow, you are a real "bourreau de travail" (in a good way ;-).

I like the more explicit approach used in point 7a of section
10.3. One question about the following:

   "If the insert location node is the root node of an instance (which
    is the parent of the root element), and the cloned node is not an
    element, then the target location is before the first child of the
    insert location node."

I assume this is intended to allow inserting PIs and comments as
children of a document node, right? I believe that this case was not
explicitly considered before, but I think it is good to allow this.

I also like the fact that 10.3.7d and B4 now makes it clearer that we
are not considering attributes as an ordered list, and the rationale
given is very good too.

So it seems that if I read 10.3 and B4 well, everything is now as I
expected it to be wrt xforms:insert :-) Yay!
