My point was that the XHR draft currently requires using a namespace- aware one, so for both writing and reading, you would have to change two parts of the draft. >The problem is that figuring out whether a DOM fragment can usefully >be serialized as a ns-wellformed string is a bit of a pain. Could you elaborate on this point? You need to serialize the document before starting to send it, to ensure that changes to it do not affect what is being sent, to set the Content-Length header, etc., and you can rather easily check for ns-wf during serialization if you implement the serialization yourself, so this does not seem like a problem. Even if you cannot do it during serialization, the algorithm to do it on the document object is relatively simple aswell. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
