These comments are regarding the 18-June-2007 XMLHttpRequest WD [1]
and a
bit delayed but hopefully still useful.
1) #conformance for "Comforming user agent", it states:
"If the user agent does not support XML (including support for
namespaces)
the XML response entity body must (always) be null."
Is this stating that a server responding to an XMLHttpRequest load or
such, must know if the user agent supports XML (including support for
namespaces) and respond with null or is it up to the conforming user
agent
to decide if it supports XML and whether to always sets the response
to
null?
The latter. The client determines whether the cient-side has XML
support and acts accordingly.
2) #dependencies for "DOM", "Window", "HTTP":
I find the phrasing of: "must support some version of DOM Events and
DOM
Core " to be very confusing. Then there is a reference (normative?)
to
DOM3 Core and Events. So the "some version" really DOM Level 3 or
is DOM
Level 0 ok, as it is *some verson* of DOM?
The lowest level of DOM Events would be 2, The lowest for DOM Core
would be 1. In practice, DOM 2 Core may be the practical minimum.
