The main problem was that we simply couldn't figure out what behaviour 
DOM Level 2 called for. Up until I found that one sentence most things 
seemed to point to the opposite behaviour.

DOM Level 3 has never been more then a working draft so it's behaviour 
is fairly irrelevant IMHO.


However it does seem like DOM Level 2 does indeed specify it, which 
means that even though I think that things had been more useful if 
specified the other way around it seems like we should follow DOM Level 
2 behaviour.
