Yes, I had actually written a reply to his post but after I realized he 
was using a munged email decided it wasn't worth it.

We have a number of bugs filed on issues which are related to 
conformance to the various DOM Specs. You can find them (along with alot 
of others) by querying bugzilla for Core:DOM*. Unfortunately we don't 
have an easy way to flag which bugs are strictly related to conformance 
issues.

Regarding the DOM TS, be sure you are using an up to date cvs version of 
the W3 DOM TS. In addition, there are many errors in the W3 DOM TS which 
cause us to either fail tests or experience errors depending on the 
loader and the mime type used. Before filing new bugs, please make sure 
that a) a bug hasn't already been filed and b) that the test itself 
isn't wrong.

I have a partial list of failures of Mozilla Firefox (Deer Park) from 
yesterday for DOM 1/2 Core/HTML/Events for each of the loader types and 
mime types if anyone is interested. It is not complete due to bug 
292717, but is a good starting point. In the near future I will be 
making full test results for the DOM TS available on a regular basis.

I would also recommend that anyone interested in filing bugs against 
Mozilla (Firefox)? get jst and others in the DOM Community involved to 
see what they would like done.

Bob
