bad memory and the fact that actually it applies someway: if I set
document.domain to a different value that the real one, some XHR in
firefox stop working. I guess that this could qualify for a bug but I
do not know if I am interesting on researching further; it could also
be that document.domain is used in a lateral way, (eg to build the
full URL of relative paths).
The reason is probably that thewhat I find really bad is that then there is no way to do cross-site
former implements a different (older) API than the latter. Note that
document.domain should be read-only per W3C DOM Level 2 HTML, so we are
violating the Spec already with allowing write access to it for accessing
properties that are tainted by default (does anyone here even remember that
NS4 feature?). Therefore, it would appear doubtful whether filing a bug
against it would actually move anything or anyone, but you are welcome to try.
XML even in the same main domain.
