What point? Under what conditions can a UA claim compliance? If all DOMSubtreeModified events are queued up and then fired off a 50ms timer, is that a compliant UA? What if it's a 50 second timer? 50 year timer? This issue is not really resolved by the latest draft (though it would seem to me that the answer per that draft is "depends on what 'rapid succession'" means). > The expectation is that the event > occurs in a way that allows authors of DOM applications to react to the > DOMSubtreeModified event only. It's not clear to me what this means, exactly, in terms of when the events should be fired. I understand what the goal of having DOMSubtreeModified is. I'm just don't think it's well-defined enough to implement as things stand. I'm not quite sure how to redefine it to be useful without introducing an explicit change batch API or something. -Boris
