It should be clear to anyone who's read the whole thread that you've cleared out the issue already as far as the interpretation of the DOM spec goes but since I was specifically prompted I'll confirm that your interpretation of the DOM spec is correct. I do favor Richard's simplified mapping though. The notion of using an arbitrary set of XML tags to then ignore it does nothing but confuse things in my opinion. -- Arnaud Le Hors - Software Standards Architect - IBM Software Group From: Ivan Herman <ivan@w3.org> To: Richard Cyganiak <richard@cyganiak.de>, Cc: Arnaud Le Hors/Cupertino/IBM@IBMUS, David Wood <david@3roundstones.com>, public-rdf-wg Group WG <public-rdf-wg@w3.org> Date: 05/10/2012 07:10 AM Subject: Re: Closing ISSUE-13 As they say "ain't broken, don't fix it"... Leave it as is. It works.

Having worked with DOM DocumentFragments before, I had assumed intuitively that two DocumentFragments would be equal iff their childNodes are equal. And that is indeed the case with isEqualNode.

I think this simpler wording would avoid some confusion, but implementers might have to think a bit harder about how to implement this given the tools they have. I prefer this simplified wording. > > Richard ---- Ivan Herman, W3C Semantic Web Activity Lead Home: http://www.w3.org/People/Ivan/ mobile: +31-641044153 FOAF: http://www.ivan-herman.net/foaf.rdf
