It is a sentence after all. But it was more ment as irony. The error message can't be missunderstood. Sorry, for the double confusion here. As long as the appendChild method works the way it was intended, I am happy..:) Though English is not my first language, nor my second, I am still pretty sure there is supposed to be a dot at the end of the error message.

No errors jump out at me... How would you improve its punctuation? No errors jump out at me…

I read through the bug, and I still don't understand it. Do you have any ideas why its considered useful? IE + standards conformance doesn't make sense to me, since DOM v3 (or v4) could just remove the requirement, and Gecko's behaviour is a superset of IE's behaviour. Also, does a workaround just involve invoking innerHTML/removeChild (or something equivalent if that's not standard enough)? I don’t understand why this was implemented.
