The thing to understand is that an element in another namespace
is often a completely different object.
I understand that and I also, in this particular case, know exactly what
that completely different object's type, e.g. namespace, truly is. The
names of the methods adoptNode() and importNode() kind of imply by their
names that these adopted/imported nodes should assume the namespace of their
new parents. Should not a decent parser for any namespace just skip over
tags it doesn't understand?
The Namespace (and element name
for that matter) in DOM should not be considered simple strings, they
more or less map to a class type. As an example most of the
elements from SVG implement the SVGLocatable interface, you can't
'retrofit' that on an existing generic element.
I think that analogy is in the wrong direction. It is more like when you
have class A extending class B. I can always take an object of class A and
treat it like a class B object.
I don't know. I bow to your much greater knowledge of XML and SVG but it
seems to me that the DOM/XML api folks could have been less anal-retentive
and more practical.
Hopefully this will make more sense to me as I learn more about XML and
namespaces.
As always, your help on this list is much appreciated.
