Thanks, will look into it.

This is a known annoyance and due to a omission in the DOM L1 spec that was
corrected by an errata.  The list of methods and attributes that raise a
particular DOMException code are generated by processing the spec, the spec
omitted that NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR could be raised by value, so it
doesn't appear in the content model.  There is a dom1se-schema target (or
something similar) that will produce a schema with the correct content
model.
