>AFAIK, a DOM document must have only one child. But will this be a problem in practice? For example, XSLT output trees may be multiply rooted, and yet XSLT is often based on DOM. If a DOM document doesn't work, could perhaps a documentFragment be used?

Doesn't this mean that a DOM implementation is just impossible? AFAIK, a DOM document must have only one child.

(Though DOM is certainly a good way to get there!) In 7.2, we define an interface that returns a DOM document (again, this only makes sense in implementations that have a DOM). We've updated our internal version to clarify that this must be singly-rooted, just like the serialized instance data shown in 2.3.

But according to chapter 7.2, the instance data is a DOM Document (that is to say with only one child element). Is it a contradiction in terms, or am I missing something ? Regards, Jérôme
