We probably need to specify it, since Gecko will not remove it because of backward compat reasons. 103999 1 annevk 2014-04-16 19:24:24 +0000 This bug needs some more pointers. 104056 2 philipj 2014-04-17 22:21:24 +0000 What are the backward compat reasons? Chrome 34 just shipped without createAttributeNS and while there are some complaints on blink-dev I wouldn't assume it will be reverted back into existence. 104063 3 ehsan 2014-04-18 02:17:59 +0000 (In reply to Philip Jägenstedt from comment #2) > What are the backward compat reasons?

Sure, but that doesn't necessarily mean that other UAs are going to drop support for this. I'm unconvinced that Gecko should, for example. 104068 4 Ms2ger 2014-04-18 07:21:39 +0000 (In reply to Ehsan Akhgari [:ehsan] from comment #3) > (In reply to Philip Jägenstedt from comment #2) > > What are the backward compat reasons? > > The stuff people reported on blink-dev. > > > Chrome 34 just shipped without > > createAttributeNS and while there are some complaints on blink-dev I > > wouldn't assume it will be reverted back into existence. > > Sure, but that doesn't necessarily mean that other UAs are going to drop > support for this. I'm unconvinced that Gecko should, for example. If Chrome sticks with dropping it, I'll be happy to argue with you on the Gecko side :) 104213 5 philipj 2014-04-22 21:05:30 +0000 Welcome back ownerElement, createAttributeNS and setAttributeNodeNS in Blink: https://codereview.chromium.org/243333003 104258 6 annevk 2014-04-23 10:33:47 +0000 They are still deprecated as I understand it in Blink. The new idea is to wait for a more comprehensive removal strategy. I'm inclined to wait for that as that is what the specification is targeting too at the moment. 110237 7 annevk 2014-08-18 14:20:17 +0000 This is tracked by bug 25016 where we will add this back most likely. 110238 8 annevk 2014-08-18 14:20:30 +0000 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 25016 ***
