This is a major change, not a minor erratum. It would impact a lot of existing non-browser DOM implementations. It is also unnecessary in DOM level 3 where there are methods to import/adopt nodes into new documents. While I tend to think that there probably shouldn't have been such a restriction in DOM level 1 in the first place, I object to changing it now via an erratum. This level of change requires a new version of DOM, and in fact such a version already exists. There's no need to rewrite history here. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@metalab.unc.edu XML in a Nutshell 3rd Edition Just Published! http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xian3/ http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0596007647/cafeaulaitA/ref=nosim
