Reported by Anne van Kesteren: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2013OctDec/0596.html Changes were made to the spec, including new dependencies on DOM L2 Core without any discussion on a public forum. DOM L2 Core dependencies added: CDATASection and internalSubset of DocType nodes. Per DOM4 the CDATASection interface and internalSubset property has been removed. Rebuttal against making CDATASection and internalSubset optional. | Accepted. Change was made to remove CDATASection and internalSubset serialization steps from the algorithm. [Diff] | TBD |

Reported by Victor Costan https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24208 The setAttributeNS allows the creation of attributes that have a non-null namespace URI, but no prefix. This case does not seem to be handled by the current algorithm in the spec, but should be. | Accepted. Fixing this required a substantial update to the algorithm, but the update now includes proper handling of attributes in non-null namespaces including automatic prefix generation if necessary (which also applies to elements in certain situations).
