interfaces and modifications to existing <abbr>DOM</abbr> interfaces,

definitions of the document type.</p>

<p>Interfaces defined in this specification are partially modeled from
early drafts of <abbr>DOM</abbr> level 1 <span class=ed>@@ ref</span>,
<abbr>DOM</abbr> Abstract Schema level 3 <span class=ed>@@ ref</span>, and

<h2><abbr>DOM</abbr> Document Type Definition Module</h2>

<p>The <abbr>DOM</abbr> Document Type Definition module, version 3.0, 
consists of three interfaces:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="#DocumentXDoctype"><code>DocumentXDoctype</code></a></li>
<li><a href="#DocumentTypeDefinition"><code>DocumentTypeDefinition</code></a></li>
<li><a href="#ElementTypeDefinition"><code>ElementTypeDefinition</code></a></li>
<li><a href="#AttributeDefinition"><code>AttributeDefinition</code></a></li>
</ul>

<p>In addition, it modifies interfaces
<a href="#Node"><code>Node</code></a>,
<a href="#DocumentType"><code>DocumentType</code></a>,
<a href="#Entity"><code>Entity</code></a>,
<a href="#EntityReference"><code>EntityReference</code></a>,
<a href="#Notation"><code>Notation</code></a>, and
<a href="#ProcessingInstruction"><code>ProcessingInstruction</code></a>.</p>

<div class=section id=features>
<h3>Feature Name</h3>

<p>In a <abbr>DOM</abbr> implementation that supports the version 3.0 of 
the <abbr>DOM</abbr> Document Type Definition module, the 
<code>hasFeature</code> method of a <code>DOMImplementation</code> object 
<em class=rfc2119>MUST</em> return <code>true</code> when the parameters are
set to <code>http://suika.fam.cx/www/2006/feature/XDoctype</code> and 
<code>3.0</code> respectively.</p>

<p>In such an implementation, the <code>getFeature</code> method of a 
<code>Document</code> object <em class=rfc2119>MUST</em> return the (at least
conceptually) same object implementing the
<a href="#DocumentXDoctype"><code>DocumentXDoctype</code></a> interface when
the parameters are set to 
<code>http://suika.fam.cx/www/2006/feature/XDoctype</code> and 
<code>3.0</code> respectively.  Likewise, any method that takes one or more
feature names with or without version number, including the methods
<code>hasFeature</code> and <code>getFeature</code>, 
<em class=rfc2119>MUST</em> behave in a manner consistent with the 
aforementioned cases.</p>
</div>

<div class=section id=section-node>
<h3>Modifications to the <code id=Node>Node</code> Interface</h3>

<p>The implementation of the 
<a href="#Node"><code>Node</code></a> interface
<em class=rfc2119>MUST</em> be modified as following:</p>
<pre class=idl><code>// Additions to the Node interface

// Additions to the NodeType definition group
const unsigned short <a href="#ELEMENT_TYPE_DEFINITION_NODE">ELEMENT_TYPE_DEFINITION_NODE</a> = 81001;
const unsigned short <a href="#ATTRIBUTE_DEFINITION_NODE">ATTRIBUTE_DEFINITION_NODE</a> = 81002;
</pre>

<p>This specification adds two new types (subinterfaces) of 
<a href="#Node"><code>Node</code></a>: element type definition (node type 
<a href="#ELEMENT_TYPE_DEFINITION_NODE"><code>ELEMENT_TYPE_DEFINITION_NODE</code></a>,
interface
<a href="#ElementTypeDefinition"><code>ElementTypeDefinition</code></a>) and
attribute definition (node type
<a href="#ATTRIBUTE_DEFINITION_NODE"><code>ATTRIBUTE_DEFINITION_NODE</code></a>,
interface
<a href="#AttributeDefinition"><code>AttributeDefinition</code></a>).  For
these kinds of nodes, methods and attributes in the 
<a href="#Node"><code>Node</code></a> interface must behave as following:</p>

<dl>
<dt><code id=attributes>attributes</code></dt>
  <dd>
    <p>On getting, the attribute <em class=rfc2119>MUST</em> return
    <code>null</code>.</p>
  </dd>
<dt><code id=baseURI>baseURI</code></dt>
  <dd>
    <p>On getting, the attribute <em class=rfc2119>MUST</em> return the
    value of the <a href="#baseURI"><code>baseURI</code></a> attribute
    of the node in the <code>ownerDocument</code> attribute of the node.
    Note that the value might be <code>null</code>.</p>
  </dd>
<dt><code id=nodeName>nodeName</code></dt>
  <dd>
    <p>If the node is an 
    <a href="#ElementTypeDefinition"><code>ElementTypeDefinition</code></a>:
    On getting, the attribute <em class=rfc2119>MUST</em> return the
    name of the element type definition represented by the node.</p>

    <p>If the node is an 
    <a href="#AttributeDefinition"><code>AttributeDefinition</code></a>:
    On getting, the attribute <em class=rfc2119>MUST</em> return the
    name of the attribute definition represented by the node.</p>
  </dd>
<dt><code id=nodeType>nodeType</code></dt>
  <dd>
    <p>On getting, the attribute <em class=rfc2119>MUST</em> return
    <a href="#ELEMENT_TYPE_DEFINITION_NODE"><code>ELEMENT_TYPE_DEFINITION_NODE</code></a>
    (if the node is an 
    <a href="#ElementTypeDefinition"><code>ElementTypeDefinition</code></a>) or
    <a href="#ATTRIBUTE_DEFINITION_NODE"><code>ATTRIBUTE_DEFINITION_NODE</code></a>
    (if the node is an
    <a href="#AttributeDefinition"><code>AttributeDefinition</code></a>).</p>

    <!-- NodeType -->
<p>Two constants are added to the <code id=NodeType>NodeType</code>
definition group of the <a href="#Node"><code>Node</code></a> interface as
following:</p>

<code id=textContent>textContent</code></dt>
  <dd>
    <p>If the node is an 
    <a href="#ElementTypeDefinition"><code>ElementTypeDefinition</code></a>:
    On getting, the attributes <em class=rfc2119>MUST</em> return the
    name of the element type.</p>

[4] The getter of the [CODE(DOMa)@en[[[textContent]]]]
attribute of an [CODE(DOMi)@en[[[AttributeDefinition]]]]

The setter of the [CODE(DOMa)@en[[[textContent]]]] attribute
of an [CODE(DOMi)@en[[[AttributeDefinition]]]] object
[['''MUST''']] behave as if the following algorithm
is performed:

object is read-only, then throw an
[CODE(DOMc)@en[[[NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR]]]].
= Remove any child node the node has.
