If a document is passed to send(), the spec says "re-throw any exception" the serializing throws. There is a test that attempts to test this statement: http://w3c-test.org/web-platform-tests/master/XMLHttpRequest/send-entity-body-document-bogus.htm It passes a completely empty document without even a document element to send(). No implementation throws. Is the incomplete spec attemt on http://domparsing.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-serialize-xml the best reference we have at the moment? Even the statement I found there about serializing comments that do not match the comment syntax seems not to match reality - Gecko serialized a document containing '<html><!-- invalid comment ---></html> just fine. Does anyone have examples of documents that should and actually DO throw when serialized? Or should we just drop that test and leave that spec statement untested? -Hallvord
