Looking over the timeline for DOM4 (http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-dom-20120405/) it does in fact seem that we are likely better off referencing it. The RDF recs and DOM4 should be moving along a simalure timeline, and there isn't a hard requirement to not refer to working drafts Both normalize and is isEqualNode have more specific language and the DOM4 versions are likely to be the implementations that users of RDF encounter. > > >>> >>> [1] >>> http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/rdf/raw-file/5d1f10084f79/rdf-concepts/index.html# >>> [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-dom-20120405/ >>> >>> Best regards, >>> >>> Dominik Tomaszuk > >
