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

<p>The <abbr>DOM</abbr> Document Type Definition module, version 3.0, 
introduces four interfaces:
<a href="#DocumentXDoctype"><code>DocumentXDoctype</code></a>,
<a href="#DocumentTypeDefinition"><code>DocumentTypeDefinition</code></a>,
<a href="#ElementTypeDefinition"><code>ElementTypeDefinition</code></a>,
and <a href="#AttributeDefinition"><code>AttributeDefinition</code></a>.
In addition, it modifies existing interfaces 
<a href="#Node"><code>Node</code></a>,
<a href="#Document"><code>Document</code></a>,
<a href="#DocumentType"><code>DocumentType</code></a>,
<a href="#Entity"><code>Entity</code></a>, and
<a href="#Notation"><code>Notation</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 
<dfn id=feature-XDoctype><code>http://suika.fam.cx/www/2006/feature/XDoctype</code></dfn>
and <dfn id=feature-XDoctype-3.0><code>3.0</code></dfn> 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 
<a href="#feature-XDoctype"><code>http://suika.fam.cx/www/2006/feature/XDoctype</code></a>
and <a href="#feature-XDoctype-3.0"><code>3.0</code></a> 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>

<h3>The <code>AttributeDefinition</code> Interface</h3>

<p>The nodes of type 
<a href="#ATTRIBUTE_DEFINITION_NODE"><code>ATTRIBUTE_DEFINITION_NODE</code></a>
represents an attribute definition.  Such a node 
<em class=rfc2119>MUST</em> implement the
<a href="#AttributeDefinition"><code>AttributeDefinition</code></a> interface,
which extends the <a href="#Node"><code>Node</code></a> interface.</p>

<p>An attribute definition represents a definition of the attribute 
associated to an element type.  It is corresponding to the attribute definition
in the attribute list declaration in <abbr>DTD</abbr>.  However, an
<a href="#AttributeDefinition"><code>AttributeDefinition</code></a> node does 
not represent the attribute definition in <abbr>DTD</abbr> itself.  Even if 
there are more than one attribute definitions for an attribute of an element 
type in <abbr>DTD</abbr>, the result <abbr>DOM</abbr> will contain only an
<a href="#AttributeDefinition"><code>AttributeDefinition</code></a> node for 
that attribute.</p>

<p>An <a href="#AttributeDefinition"><code>AttributeDefinition</code></a>
node cannot be a child of any node.  An
<a href="#AttributeDefinition"><code>AttributeDefinition</code></a> node
can have zero or more child nodes of same kinds as those allowed for
<code>Attr</code> nodes <span class=ed>[DOM3]</span>.</p>

<p>The <a href="#AttributeDefinition"><code>AttributeDefinition</code></a>
