See the DOM L1 spec as regards the definitions of those attributes. The phrase is "cannot be altered in any way".

Like I said, the RFE is **for DOM L2** ... no new features, only asking completion of support for the existing features. Like finishing the support for DocumentType objects which L2 has already started. - Dave
