What is the correct behavior if a lookupNamespaceURI call moves nodes

Do I understand correctly that this is something scripts should not do?
Correct. I think it's worth taking the HTML5 approach of defining both
what documents are conforming and what to do with the non-conforming
ones....
I would be rather reluctant to define this so long as we don't also de-
fine when and how many times the resolver is invoked, since depending on
that, the results would not necessarily become more predictable.
Indeed.
Would it be acceptable to include a general provision to the effect that
if an implementation detects that resolvers manipulate documents in some
undesirable way, they may throw an exception?
I would be happy with that, yes.
