I attended the telcon and should have known, it was just running very lat when I sent the email yesterday. Taken from Philippe's Summary of DOM Test Suite status email, Oct 29: We are still missing the DOM Level 1 HTML Test Suite. Given that DOM Level 2 HTML is not backward compatible, a DOM Level 2 HTML test suite would be more appropriate. Mary will see what can be done in NIST and will ask for help in the www-dom-ts mailing list to convert the existing NIST DOM HTML test suite. Dimitris will help to unify the harnesses and needs to take of the documentation. [dd] I take it "the existing DOM HTML test suite" is for level 1, but will be converted to level 2? > As far as the harness goes, it appears as though we don't have a method > for > loading xhtml and html files for the various implementations.
