1. Should it be expected that importNode()/adoptNode() register attributes that

asked this question on the Xerces user list and am awaiting a response.
Yes. But I'm biased.
2. No matter the outcome of #1, should the XHTML DOM provide the same fallback
mechanism that the HTML DOM has, allowing lookup to succeed, albeit with
decreased performance than lookups of Ids that were originally in the
destination document at parse time?
Yes. For all the same reasons that it's in the HTML DOM.
Which of these issues do you have control over and which do you have to convince Xerces to implement?
BTW, the XHTML DOM implements the HTML DOM interfaces. I suggest you use those
interfaces rather than the XHTML interfaces. It will make you code more
generic.
Yes, I know. It's a mistake that I have yet to correct. I never plan to use non-XML-compliant HTML code, but I agree that using the more generic interface would make my code better.
