After debating points on standards and why they should be followed
after it is agreed upon, let me mention one piece of "wiggle room" I
just noticed looking back at the DOM documents themselves. This
appears in all three versions of the specification.
The definition of:
WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR
If a Node is used in a different document than the one that
created it (that doesn't support it).
The four words in parentheses at the end of the definition, would
lead me to argue that you may not be required to throw the exception
if you are inserting into a document that does support it, in which
case perhaps the test case should be reconsidered. Has this been
raised before?
These four words are not mentioned after the definition, but would
seem to me to apply wherever the exception is thrown.
Anyone else see this differently?
Ray
