92 <p>The <dfn id=term-dom-dtdef><abbr>DOM</abbr> Document Type Definition</dfn>

99 early drafts of <abbr>DOM</abbr> Level 1
100 <cite class="bibref informative">[<a href="#ref-DOM1WD">DOM1WD</a>]</cite>,

112 <h3>Terminology</h3>
113
114 <p>All examples and notes in this specification are non$B!>(Bnormative,
115 as are all sections explicitly marked non$B!>(Bnormative.</p>
116
117 <p class=ed>Known issues are marked like this. They are non$B!>(Bnormative. <!--
118 However, this paragraph itself is normative. One may argue that this paragraph
119 is non$B!>(Bnormative, because this paragraph is marked as an editor's note.
120 Anyway, the other editor's notes are non$B!>(Bnormative. --></p>
121
122 <p>Everything else in this document is normative.</p>
123
124 <p>The key words <q><em class="rfc2119">MUST</em></q>,
125 <q><em class="rfc2119">MUST NOT</em></q>, and <q><em class=rfc2119>MAY</em></q>
126 in this document are to be interpreted as described in
127 <a href="urn:ietf:rfc:2119"><abbr title="Request for Comments">RFC</abbr>
128 2119</a>
129 <cite class="bibref normative">[<a href="#ref-KEYWORDS">KEYWORDS</a>]</cite>.</p>
130
131 <p>Conformance requirements phrased as algorithms or specific steps
132 <em class=rfc2119>MAY</em> be implemented in any manner, so long as the end
133 result is equivalent. Requirements phrased in the imperative as part of
134 algorithms are to be interpreted with the meaning of the key word used in
135 introducing the algorithm.</p>
136
137 <p>Sometimes an exception is phrased as being required to be raised. As
138 specified in the <abbr>DOM</abbr> Core specification
139 <cite class="bibref normative">[<a href="#ref-DOM3CORE">DOM3CORE</a>]</cite>,
140 when the value of the <code>strictErrorChecking</code> attribute of the
141 <a href="#Document"><code>Document</code></a> node is <code>false</code>,
142 then the exception is not have to be raised.</p>
143
144 <p>Some conformance requirements are phrased as requirements on interfaces,
145 attributes, methods, or objects. Such requirements are applied to
146 implementations.</p>
147
148 <p>The construction <q>a <code><var>Foo</var></code> object</q>, where
149 <code><var>Foo</var></code> is an interface, is used instead of the more
150 accurate <q>an object implementing the interface
151 <code><var>Foo</var></code></q>.</p>
152
153 <p>The construction <q>raise a <code><var>Bar</var></code></q>, where
154 <code><var>Bar</var></code> is an exception code, is used instead of the more
155 accurate <q>raise an exception implementing the interface
156 <code>DOMException</code>
157 <cite class="bibref normative">[<a href="#ref-DOM3CORE">DOM3CORE</a>]</cite>
158 with its <code>code</code> attribute set to
159 <code><var>Bar</var></code></q>.</p>
160
161 <p>The terms
162 <em id=live><a href="http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#live">live</a></em>
163 and <em id=setting>setting</em> and <em id=getting>getting</em> of an attribute

169 is defined in the <abbr>DOM</abbr> Level 3 Core specification

171
172 <p>The <em id=idl-fragment><abbr>IDL</abbr> fragments</em> in this document are
173 to be interpreted as described in the <cite>Language Bindings for
174 <abbr>DOM</abbr> Specifications</cite> specification
175 <cite class="bibref normative">[<a href="#ref-DOMBIND">DOMBIND</a>]</cite>.</p>
176
177 <p>Some <abbr>IDL</abbr> fragments are presented as <i>patch</i> to an
178 <abbr>IDL</abbr> fragment defined in another document. They are to be
179 interpreted as an instance of
180 <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-DOM-Bindings-20071017/#proddef-InterfaceMembers"><code>InterfaceMembers</code></a>
181 <cite class="bibref normative">[<a href="#ref-DOMBIND">DOMBIND</a>]</cite>.

254 <h2><abbr>DOM</abbr> Document Type Definition Module</h2>
255
256 <p>The <abbr>DOM</abbr> Document Type Definition module, version 3.0,
257 introduces four interfaces:
258 <a href="#DocumentXDoctype"><code>DocumentXDoctype</code></a>,
259 <a href="#DocumentTypeDefinition"><code>DocumentTypeDefinition</code></a>,
260 <a href="#ElementTypeDefinition"><code>ElementTypeDefinition</code></a>,
261 and <a href="#AttributeDefinition"><code>AttributeDefinition</code></a>.
262 In addition, it modifies existing interfaces
263 <a href="#Node"><code>Node</code></a>,
264 <a href="#Document"><code>Document</code></a>,
265 <a href="#DocumentType"><code>DocumentType</code></a>,
266 <a href="#Entity"><code>Entity</code></a>, and
267 <a href="#Notation"><code>Notation</code></a>
268 <cite class="bibref normative">[<a href="#ref-DOM3CORE">DOM3CORE</a>]</cite>.</p>
269
270 <div class=section id=features>
271 <h3>Feature String</h3>
272
273 <p>In a <abbr>DOM</abbr> implementation that supports the version 3.0 of
274 the <abbr>DOM</abbr> Document Type Definition module, the
275 <code>hasFeature</code> method of a <code>DOMImplementation</code> object
276 <cite class="bibref normative">[<a href="#ref-DOM3CORE">DOM3CORE</a>]</cite>
277 <em class=rfc2119>MUST</em> return <code>true</code> when the parameters are
278 set to
279 <dfn id=feature-XDoctype><code>http://suika.fam.cx/www/2006/feature/XDoctype</code></dfn>
280 and <dfn id=feature-XDoctype-3.0><code>3.0</code></dfn> respectively. Any
281 method that takes one or more feature names, with or without version number,
282 such as <code>hasFeature</code> or <code>getFeature</code>,
283 <em class=rfc2119>MUST</em> behave in a manner consistent with it.</p>
284 </div>
285
286 <div class=section id=section-node>
287 <h3>Modifications to the <code id=Node>Node</code> Interface</h3>
288
289 <p>The implementation of the
290 <a href="#Node"><code>Node</code></a> interface
291 <em class=rfc2119>MUST</em> be modified as the following
292 <a href="#idl-fragment"><abbr>IDL</abbr> fragment</a>:</p>

297 const unsigned short <a href="#ATTRIBUTE_DEFINITION_NODE">ATTRIBUTE_DEFINITION_NODE</a> = 81002;
298 </pre>
299
300 <p>This specification adds two new types (subinterfaces) of
301 <a href="#Node"><code>Node</code></a>: element type definition (node type
302 <a href="#ELEMENT_TYPE_DEFINITION_NODE"><code>ELEMENT_TYPE_DEFINITION_NODE</code></a>,
303 interface
304 <a href="#ElementTypeDefinition"><code>ElementTypeDefinition</code></a>) and
305 attribute definition (node type
306 <a href="#ATTRIBUTE_DEFINITION_NODE"><code>ATTRIBUTE_DEFINITION_NODE</code></a>,
307 interface
308 <a href="#AttributeDefinition"><code>AttributeDefinition</code></a>). For
309 these kinds of nodes, methods and attributes in the
310 <a href="#Node"><code>Node</code></a> interface must behave as following:</p>

312 <dl>
313 <dt><code id=attributes>attributes</code>,

332 for those kinds of nodes. In addition, it might revise behavior of
333 the method for <a href="#Entity"><code>Entity</code></a>,
