Description Simon Pieters 2008-08-10 22:57:29 UTC 
"Note: These are the only ways to make a DOM unserializable." is false given execCommand('insertHTML'). For consistency insertHTML should throw in XML.
Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2008-08-11 23:39:28 UTC 
Changed, but, what about parsing an HTML document and importing a node that one couldn't create in an XML DOM? Do we define that to fail anywhere?
Comment 2 Simon Pieters 2008-08-12 07:46:07 UTC 
No but it's on my list for DOM5.
