Should we copy any of the following? - Base URL - Compat mode Anything else? 91787 1 annevk 2013-08-08 10:29:46 +0000 Testing in Gecko shows we copy URL/baseURI/compatMode/contentType/characterSet. Not entirely clear to me how much of that is desirable. Olli? 91788 2 annevk 2013-08-08 10:30:27 +0000 I suspect we copy XMLness too. Haven't tested. 91790 3 bugs 2013-08-08 13:10:39 +0000 Yes, XMLness/SVGness/HTMLness. We probably want URL if base URL is copied, and we probably want base URL to be correct so that various urls in the clone tree are correct. compatMode yes, since it seems to affect to innerHTML behavior and it would be odd if the clone would have different behavior than the original http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/content/base/public/nsContentUtils.h?rev=82d3b49ce0df&mark=1137-1137,1149-1149#1130 Not sure whether contentType or characterSet matter much. 91791 4 annevk 2013-08-08 13:12:55 +0000 If you care about how APIs behave (e.g. for parsing links characterSet matters), they would matter. 91834 5 annevk 2013-08-09 13:37:28 +0000 https://github.com/whatwg/dom/commit/3872ac3494ab4be8b9769ee831c45159235f9507 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-dom/2013JulSep/thread.html#msg127 is about the base URL aspect.
