Description sksksksko3 2014-09-14 06:12:01 UTC 
The latest published version of the DOM4 draft[1] makes the following contradictory statements:

1. "DOM defines a platform-neutral model for events and node trees"
2. "If options' attributeFilter is present and options' attributes is false, throw a JavaScript TypeError"

How on earth is specifying JavaScript TypeErrors in the normative text of the specification "platform-neutral"? There are half a dozen or so more references to "JavaScript TypeError" in that draft.

Comment 2 Anne 2014-09-14 07:24:58 UTC 
JavaScript is a language, not a platform. I don't see the problem.
Comment 3 Ms2ger 2014-09-14 08:05:20 UTC 
Indeed.
