If a NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR error is thrown, Safari's error console does not detail the actual syntax in question. This makes debugging difficult in complex scripts that modify the DOM. Firefox actually reports the syntax that was rejected. For example: Safari: Error: NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: DOM Exception 7 Firebug: Error: not well-formed Source File: Line: 1, Column: 115 Source Code: <div class="test">&nbsp;</div> I don't know if this should be considered part of https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15492 which has to do with the logging of these errors.

Rolling 15492 into this. At the moment, this code generates an exception with the message "SYNTAX_ERR: DOM Exception 12". We should add detail there explain what the syntax error was.

Unassigning myself; let's be realistic about what I'm actually working on. :/

Mass moving XML DOM bugs to the "DOM" Component.
