Hi, I've revieved the DOM3 Load & Save Last Call spec [1] for the XForms WG and have the following Last Call comments: 1. Inconsistency in DOMParserFilter Inconsistency: 1.1 says DOMParserFilter filters only elements, while 1.3 says all kinds of nodes (e.g. attributes and text nodes) can be filtered. Which is right? The preferred answer is that of 1.3. Please fix this in the spec. 2. Inconsistency in DOMSerializerFilter Inconsistency: 1.1 says DOMSerializerFilter can be used to filter out nodes, but 1.3 says that only elements can be filtered. Why doesn't this interface include attributes? An example of a use case: in XForms the 'relevant' attribute can be set to false on a attribute, which removes it from the serialization. Please fix this so that also attributes and text nodes can be filtered out. 3. 1.4 Convenience Interfaces should be made mandatory Why are these interfaces optional? If the claim is right that they are just convenience methods, they should be trivial to implement. For users it will be a pain to check whether an implementation supports these interfaces. Please fix this by making them mandatory. [1] DOM3 LS http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-DOM-Level-3-LS-20030619/
