Trying to do it in the general case would mean imposing unacceptable constraints on implementation. The "Embedded DOM" chapter of DOM Level 3 was going to consider the question of combining nodes from different implementations into a single tree. This turns out to be a very ugly problem, and this feature has trimmed itself down and will only support nodes which are subclassed from the same DOM implementation. If there's a serious requirement that it do more, you may want to take that up with the EDOM editorial team and provide some help on brainstorming how this could be made to work properly. (First show that it's needed. Then show that it's possible...) ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
