Meta: Impact of "Superseeded" Status of DOM Level 2 Specification #176
Comments
I just did some research (in the context of #203) related to all the different specs xmldom implements (at least some) parts of, here are my findings:
I think a basic overview of the related specs should be part of the repo and what our goals are towards each of them and how they relate to each other, e.g. in a Since I created labels for some of them, I think we should also add labels for the missing ones. |
And since I didn't say it explicitly: I think it will be hard to reach a point in time, where xmldom can say that it conforms/complies with any single (or even multiple) spec, so I think it makes more sense to document the behavior of each class/method, including the alignment or difference to any related spec. |
@karfau can we say that this implements an API similar to (some parts of?) the XML DOM API implemented by many browsers, based on API documented in [link into documentation. on MDN], say based on the now superseded DOM level 2 specs? I would agree 100% with keeping the scope limited for the foreseeable future, and furthermore (sorry for veering off-topic) that we should now focus on some near-term priorities such as:
While it would be nice to add new features from the living standards, I think this would need both user community interest and external support in the form of sponsorships, for example. |
My apologies, looks like some of my ideas were already part of PR #211. |

The question is: What impact should this have on the goals/long term strategy of this library?
