document.implementation.createDocument is too lenient This was discovered while writing a test for bug 25096 (fast/dom/DOMImplementation/createDocument-namespace-err.html) I copied fast/dom/Document/resources/createElementNS-namespace-err.js which was written as part of bug 16833. Our failures: FAIL createDocument(, null, null) FAIL createDocument(null, null, null) FAIL createDocument(null, "", null) FAIL createDocument("", null, null) FAIL createDocument("", "", null) (No message means that we didn't throw an exception when one was expected... the test could be improved to display that.) FF behavior: FAIL createDocument(, null, null); expected INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR, threw NAMESPACE_ERR FAIL createDocument(null, null, null) FAIL createDocument(null, "", null) FAIL createDocument("", null, null); expected INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR, threw NAMESPACE_ERR FAIL createDocument("", "", null)
The relevant portion of the DOM3 spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/core.html#Level-2-Core-DOM-createDocument
When I read DOM4 it seems lenient too: http://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-domimplementation-createdocument Whereas DOM2/3 was strict indeed: http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/core.html#Level-2-Core-DOM-createDocument NAMESPACE_ERR: if the qualifiedName is null and the namespaceURI is different from null. FF latest version seem to be lenient like us, for the given 5 subtests it matches WebKit: FAIL createDocument(, null, null) FAIL createDocument(null, null, null) FAIL createDocument(null, "", null) FAIL createDocument("", null, null) FAIL createDocument("", "", null) Should we close the bug?
Mass moving XML DOM bugs to the "DOM" Component.
