No, as already demonstrated, #2 does return matches in some cases.

Surely that's just an implementation bug?   rather than indicative of
any underlying problem in the spec.

Yes, it was a bug, but I didn't think the spec was very clear on how to handle the issue.

The ElementClassName file :
className = className.replace(/^\s*([^\s]*)\s*$/, "$1")
doesn't enforce the classnames have no spaces in them and results it
in continuing to test the className attributes with a regexp
containing the space.

a quick untested fix would I think be:

className = className.match(/^\s*(\S+)\s*$/) ?
className.replace(/^\s*(\S+)\s*$/,"$1") : "";

That seems to work well.

(also using \S rather than [^\s], but that's purely style of course)

Thanks, I didn't know about that syntax.

I think it is defined in the spec, it's erroneous, and your
implementation is just broken as above, I'd quite like it to be
defined as 3,

Yes, I guess, if it is erroneous, then #3 does make the most sense.

mainly because a DOM binding with optional parameters
isn't language independant, and if it's a ECMAScript tied DOM, then
the DOM needs to be a lot more ECMAScript like.

I may not be understanding what you mean, but if optional parameters aren't language independant, shouldn't it be defined in a more language independant way, so that any non-ECMAScript languages can still implement this?
