Hi.

It doesn’t seem to be specified in DOM 3 Core what exception code should
be used when the DOMException is thrown for this document:

  <html>
  <head><title>insertBefore test</title></head>
  <body>
  <div id='d1'><div id='d2'></div></div>
  <script>
    d1 = document.getElementById('d1');
    d2 = d1.firstChild;
    d2.insertBefore(d1, document.documentElement);
  </script>
  </body>
  </html>

Both HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR and NOT_FOUND_ERR are applicable.

Is it worth specifying?

Thanks,

Cameron
