That causes scripts with hardwired numeric indices to break. Hardwired numeric indices are indispensable to express a continuous range of controls (e.g. to enable all controls in a FIELDSET). This is a serious incompatibility and it is not mentioned.

I think this particular instance is minor compared to others and is not worth pointing out. 64917 2 giecrilj 2012-03-02 16:10:33 +0000 (In reply to comment #1) > Rationale: This is just one out of many incompatibilities with DOM 2 HTML. I > think this particular instance is minor compared to others and is not worth > pointing out. I think this particular instance is major, maybe not as compared to others, but as applied to writing event handlers, and it should be documented. 65019 3 zcorpan 2012-03-05 15:45:44 +0000 OK, I'll add a section discussing API changes. 65055 4 zcorpan 2012-03-06 11:48:15 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
