Elliott, All - please use the www-dom@w3.org list for DOM4 discussions <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-dom/>. (Elliott, since that spec is still in the draft phase, you should probably use the latest Editor's Draft <http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/domcore/raw-file/tip/Overview.html> instead of the version in w3.org/TR/) -Thanks, AB -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [DOM4] Mutation algorithm imposed order on document children Resent-Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2012 01:01:51 +0000 Resent-From: <public-webapps@w3.org> Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2012 16:39:36 -0700 From: ext Elliott Sprehn <esprehn@gmail.com> To: <public-webapps@w3.org> I'm working on places where Webkit doesn't follow the DOM4 mutation algorithm and one of the bugs is not throwing an exception when a doctype node is inserted after an element in a document (or other permutations of the same situation). https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88682 http://www.w3.org/TR/domcore/#mutation-algorithms After discussing this with some other contributors there were questions on why we're enforcing the order of the document child nodes. Specifically since inserting a doctype node doesn't actually change the doctype so this situation is very unlikely (possibly never happens) in the wild. Not implementing this keeps the code simpler for a case that developers likely never see. Can we leave the behavior when your document is out of order unspecified? - Elliott
