There is no mention of how the empty nodes need to be handled in the new specification (http://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-node-normalize). In particular, I would really appreciate for a note on how the following situation should be handled: an empty text node (text1) followed by a non-empty text node (text2). According to the new specification, the content will be concatenated in text1. However, this does not correspond to the behavior of major browsers: major browsers detach text1 and leave text2 unchanged. Thanks, Svitlana 77787 1 Ms2ger 2012-11-03 09:01:29 +0000 Thanks for the bug report, Svitlana.
