      <p>Changes were made to the spec, including new dependencies on DOM L2 Core without any 
        discussion on a public forum.
      <p>DOM L2 Core dependencies added: <a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2013OctDec/0632.html">
        CDATASection and internalSubset of DocType nodes</a>. Per <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/dom/#dom-core">
        DOM4</a> the CDATASection interface and internalSubset property has been removed. 
      <p><a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2013OctDec/0710.html">
        Rebuttal against making CDATASection and internalSubset optional</a>.
   <td data-accepted>
     Accepted. Change was made to remove CDATASection and internalSubset serialization steps from the algorithm.

    <p>The &lt; (LESS THAN) character should be escaped in the XML attribute serialization algorithm.
   <td data-accepted>
     Accepted. Change was made to add the appropriate escaping.

    <p>The setAttributeNS allows the creation of attributes that have a non-null namespace URI, but 
     no prefix. This case does not seem to be handled by the current algorithm in the spec, but should
     be.
   <td data-accepted>
    Accepted. Fixing this required a substantial update to the algorithm, but the update now includes proper
    handling of attributes in non-null namespaces including automatic prefix generation if necessary (which
    also applies to elements in certain situations).
