§5.5: > A |Document > <http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/domcore/raw-file/tip/Overview.html#document>| > node is assumed to be an XML document unless it is flagged as being an > HTML document. Whether a document is an HTML document > <http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/domcore/raw-file/tip/Overview.html#html-document> > or an XML document > <http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/domcore/raw-file/tip/Overview.html#xml-document> affects > the behavior of certain APIs. createHTMLDocument() explicity flags the new document as an HTML document. createDocument() is silent about this, which would mean that it is not possible to create an HTML document with createDocument(), even if you provide a proper namespace and property doctype object. Firefox 4 allows me to create an HTML document with createDocument(), if I set the namespace and doctype correctly, so I'm wondering if this restriction in the spec is intentional or not. David
