Re: DOM conformance tests

[David_N_Bertoni]

I agree with Dean.  Since the C++ API uses an unsigned value, it is
impossible to pass a negative value, since the calling member function has
no idea that a parameter was initialized with a negative constant.

"n a perfect world, it would probably be best to remove the unsigned
qualifiers from he arguments so that the behavior would parallel that of
the
Java implementation."

Do we really want to adopt Java limitations like that, just to make those
few tests pass? Its really just a shortcoming of Java that they'd model for
which negative values have no meaning with a signed type.
