Description Darin Adler 2005-10-09 15:21:18 UTC 
The hc_noderemovechild test claims that it will remove the "first employee". But the code in the JavaScript 
version at least does this:

      rootNode = doc.documentElement;
      childList = rootNode.childNodes;
      childToRemove = childList.item(1);
      removedChild = rootNode.removeChild(childToRemove);

The documentElement is an <html> element, and its second child is a <body> element, so this test 
removes the <body> element. This is causing trouble for the Safari team with the XHTML version of the 
test, which is having trouble reporting results after a <body> element is removed.
