That's been true in past versions of the DOM. (Justification: Some DOMs subclass may nodes differently based on their type; consider the HTML DOM as an example.) DOM Level 3 is proposing allowing (not requiring) some (not all) DOMs to relax this, via the renameNode operation. In DOMs which don't allow renaming, renameNode _replaces_ the node with a new on having the new name.
