+1 to removing it.
I think there needs to be a node clearly stating that even if you try
to send a HTMLDocument, it will be serialized as if it were XML.
Agreed. Does the XHTML namespace get added automagically?
It might also be worth to note that on sending, the implementation
takes
a snapshot of the document and subsequent modifications of the
Document
during async upload are not reflected in the result.
Yes, that will certainly alleviate some confusion from users who
think XML == DB.
The main flaw here however is that it may not be possible to meet the
requirement to create a ns well-formed document, for example, if it
contains a processing instruction whose data includes "?>"; it is not
possible to represent such a Document as an XML document. The draft
has
to address this case.
I can't think of anything useful that the UA can do on its own there,
I'd suggest throwing an exception (DOMError or some such).
