Re: Writing DOM Level 3 Load & Save tests

Hi Jeroen

Thanks for looking into writing tests.

As a first comment, I can only agree that we have a problem with the DOM 
TS ML for level 3 as the other ones (levels 1 & 2) are generated 
directly from the specifications. As Level 3 has not yet been released, 
this needs to be resolved.
