The removeChild specification for NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR says: NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if this Node is of type Document or if the child, or any of its descendants, is of a type that cannot be created with the Document method createElementNS. DOM Level 3 Core says: NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: If this node is of type Document, this exception might be raised if the DOM implementation doesn't support the removal of the DocumentType child or the Element child. There are two issues here: 1) The exception on removing the root element of a document is made mandatory rather than optional as in L3 Core. This would gratuitously make some compliant DOM implementations non-compliant with uDOM. 2) It forbids using the uDOM removeChild method for removing non- element node types, such as Element, this makes it conflict with the DOM removeChild method and so it is impossible to implement but uDOM Node and DOM Node interfaces on the same object at the same time. I recommend removing the differences. I also recommend quoting verbatim or better yet normatively referencing the DOM Level 3 Core removeChild method (there are other minor textual differences besides the two things I called out).
