I feel HTMLTableElement31 doesn't do what it's supposed to do :) It creates a <table> element and then does <appendChild obj='testNode' newChild='table' ...> where testNode is itself a <table>. I think most implementations will refuse to do that, table isn't a valid child of table. I think the test intended to use body.appendChild instead (for instance).
Sadly I had already reported this 15 months ago, with a patch :( http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-dom-ts/2002Sep/0045.html
to curt.
Created attachment 287 [details] Adds table to the body, not to another table Mozilla and IE pass the test as it was, but adding a table to a table is definitely questionable.
Created attachment 290 [details] Removes equivalent L2 HTML fix The original issue had been fixed in the L2 HTML suite. This patch removes the L2 HTML version of the test.
