The DOM L3 Core test: documentnormalizedocument10 tries to insert a second Element node into a Document. This might go wrong straight away with a HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR, but if not it will certainly go wrong when normalizeDocument is called as the document cannot possibly be well-formed. In any case the test is based on a flawed premise, that setting 'element-content-whitespace' to false and normalising will remove some spaces from the middle of a Text node whose parent is not declared as containing 'element content'. This misunderstands what 'element content whitespace' actually is.
