100569 - getAnonymousNodes() doesn't take care about child added with DOM appendChild

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: XBL, defect)

Description

[David Olivari]

I defined a XBL with two new tag : 
- mymenu 
- mymenuitem

I make xul file with :

<mymenu id="amenu">
   <mymenuitem value='item 1'/>
   <mymenuitem value='item 2'/>   <mymenuitem value='item 3'/></mymenu>
in Javascript :

document.getAnonymousNodes(document.getElementById("amenu")).length

return -> 3

if I append some child with DOM method :

aNew = document.createElement("mymenuitem");
aNew.setAttribute("value","item 4");
document.getElementById("amenu").appendChild(aNew);

then I can see the new item on the the but :
document.getAnonymousNodes(document.getElementById("amenu")).length
still return -> 3

those elements are explicitly in the DOM, and appending with the DOM is still
explicit.
