| Can you propose a specific wording? | ||

| "Add a new child node to this node at the end of the list of children, returning newChild. The original child node is removed after appending the child to the new node." maybe? It took me quite some time to figure that out because I thought "it's not popAndAppend()", so having a hint in the documentation would be nice. (This is the first time I use this bugtracker. I hope this message will be displayed correctly.) | ||

| Thanks. I committed something like that as 59176. Notice that the precise semantics of all operations is specified in the DOM itself, http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Core-20001113/core.html which says Adds the node newChild to the end of the list of children of this node. If the newChild is already in the tree, it is first removed. |
