So EntityReference is 404 missing from mdn. and the createEntityReference method on the dom is dropped from spec.

So... does that mean EntityReference also dropped?. I thought that was a mapping from entities so required?

Doesn't appear to be from other online specs. So having to cross reference specs to see what's going on there.

It would appear as long as we start returning HTMLCollecitons and NodeLists were compliant to a good decent amount of lvl1-5 specs. The hard part would be taking into account changes between specs if I'm not settling on one and just reading them randomly as I do each method. As tbf I'm working backwards from tests and use cases rather than building directly from a spec. Then only referencing the spec.

I'm not against have legacy methods avaiallable if they don't affect anything. And need to understand some parts better.

There now overlap between my DOM stuff and the xm.dom... i.e. NodeFilter exists as identitcal... so i can likely import and reference that. It also has a raiseNotImplemented which was as I expected from the spec and shim Id been working with have it so you set that function rule as you build the treewalker.

Anyways. This DOM is reall really huge. It can often feel like the mandala effect (i've said this before) . So if you want to help just fork and start anywhere. It doesn't belong to me which is why I opened sourced it. And it far too much for 1 person to dev. Tests are really far behind as are docs.
