2.1.1 [DOMLevel3Core:2004] Section 1.3.1, String Comparisons in the DOM

  • Article

V0001:

The specification states:

 The character normalization, i.e. transforming into their fully normalized form as 
 as defined in [XML 1.1], is assumed to happen at serialization time. The DOM Level 
 3 Load and Save module [DOM Level 3 Load and Save] provides a serialization mechanism (see 
 the DOMSerializer interface, section 2.3.1) and uses the DOMConfiguration 
 parameters "normalize-characters" and "check-character-normalization" to assure 
 that text is fully normalized [XML 1.1]. Other serialization mechanisms built on 
 top of the DOM Level 3 Core also have to assure that text is fully normalized.

Quirks Mode, IE7 Mode, and IE8 Mode (All Versions)

The DOM Level 3 Load and Save module [DOMLevel3LS:2004] is not supported; therefore, this type of character normalization is not supported.
