TCKs tend to have signature tests which verify that the classes/interfaces defined or endorsed by the spec are precisely what was specified. I see that DOM Level 3 events adds methods to existing interfaces, so I'd say there's a good chance such a move would cause a TCK failure. We probably need a branch for this (or create a JAXP 1.3 TCK compliant branch). > [1] http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/xml-commons-dev/200506. > mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] > [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/NOTE-DOM-Level-3-Events-20031107/java- > binding.html > [3] http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5. > 0/docs/api/org/w3c/dom/events/package-summary.html > > Jeremias Maerki > Thanks.
