This was was cloned from bug 6689 as part of operation convergence. Originally filed: 2009-03-12 13:56:00 +0000 Original reporter: Henri Sivonen <hsivonen@iki.fi> ================================================================================ #0 Henri Sivonen 2009-03-12 13:56:00 +0000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The spec says that Element.setAttributeNode() lower cases the attribute name. It doesn't make sense for a method on Element to mutate the attribute node. Either the spec shouldn't prescribe lower casing for attribute nodes or the lower casing should take place in Document.createAttribute(). ================================================================================ #1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2009-04-01 01:37:18 +0000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- delaying dealing with this until Web DOM Core has tried removing Attr nodes, since then it might be a non-issue. ================================================================================ #2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2009-08-08 01:27:20 +0000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Delaying further since Web DOM Core is in low-maintenance mode awaiting an active editor. ================================================================================ #3 Maciej Stachowiak 2010-03-14 13:17:04 +0000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This bug predates the HTML Working Group Decision Policy.
