Yes, please. Like Safari, we've had exactly the same problem (following the specs too closely) in iCab, and we're now about to violate the specs and not throw WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR, because our customers do not care about standards - they just want to see web pages that other browsers can display. By making this exception optional (not required), there should not be any need to rewrite existing non-browser DOM implementations IMHO. Or maybe the erratum can be restricted to browser implementations due to "legacy issues". bye, Thomas
