Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2009-09-22 00:32:21 UTC 
Tried to fix this. Let me know if I missed any remaining cases.

Checked in as WHATWG revision r3951.
Check-in comment: If you move a node from an HTML doc to an XML doc, you can create nodes with names you otherwise could not. So we have to handle that case also.

Comment 3 Simon Pieters 2009-09-22 11:27:07 UTC 
Still missing:

* A DocumentType node with a name that does not match QName.
* A DocumentType node hat has an external subset system identifier that does not match the XML Char production. ("[^...]" is subtracted from Char.)
* An Attr node with no namespace and a local name "xmlns"
* An Element node that has two (or more) Attr nodes with the same local name and namespace.

(In reply to comment #3)
> * A DocumentType node with a name that does not match QName.

Strike this point. (Can't move doctypes between documents.)
