Speaking as someone who was on the DOM Working Group at the time: Michael is entirely correct.
The DOM Level 1 non-namespace-aware nodes and methods should be considered DEPRECATED. They are simply not interoperable with DOM Level 2 code. The only justification for continuing to use them is if you must interface with ancient code which has never been updated to conform to DOM Level 2... and even then you should not expect those nodes to work properly with a DOM Level 2 application. Unfortunately the W3C did not have a formal deprecation mechansim, so the DOM WG could not express it in these terms in the Recommendation. But that really was our intent. If anyone else is really conflating these, they are not W3C DOM compliant and should fix their bug.
