DOM 4.1 > 2018-03-01

[xfq]

The Web Platform Working Group requests review of the following specification before 2018-03-01:

W3C DOM 4.1
https://www.w3.org/TR/dom41/

The group requests feedback via the specification's GitHub repository: https://github.com/w3c/dom/issues

This publication is a Pre-Candidate Recommendation Draft under the 2017 Process. Therefore, the group is looking for confirmation that it has satisfied its relevant technical requirements and dependencies with other groups.

Some preliminary evaluation here:

The DOM specification does not deal with typographic features, local date/time/format, or content negotiation.

A document’s encoding can be returned by document.characterSet (or its aliases) defined in this spec, and uses UTF-8 by default.

String comparisons are done in a case-sensitive manner. Methods including (but not limited to):

• element.getElementsByTagName/getElementsByClassName/removeAttribute/setAttribute/hasAttribute/insertAdjacentElement, and
• document.getElementsByTagName/getElementsByClassName/createEvent

match case-insensitively against tag names, attribute names, class names, and event names.

The methods document.createElement/createAttribute convert the names of the HTML elements/attributes to ASCII lowercase.
