I'm looking at the following section: http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2/core.html#Core-Document-importNode What is see is that the Level 2 specification says [unlike what you stated] that: Entity nodes can be imported, however ... Notation nodes can be imported, however ... That means for me to build a conforming implementation, I would need to support importing entities and notations, however meaningless that capability is. If the decision to allow importing these nodes is truly deferred until DOM Level 3, then I recommend the following change to that section: Entity nodes cannot be imported. Notation nodes cannot be imported. That way, a conforming implementation can take the easy way out, and the current API won't break if in the future you decide that there is a sensible reason to allow these nodes to be imported.
