Dear Netscape team,
Your Gecko DOM reference says that "replaceChild() method replaces one child 
node on the current element with another" and the exaple says that first 
argument "oldChild" i.e replaced element must be followed by "newChild" while 
the W3C DOM reference provides vice versa example: "newChild" must be followed 
by "oldChild" moreover the example doesn't work in
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; m18) Gecko/20001108 Netscape6/6.0 
Best regards, Roman Yankin, romayankin@mail.ru
reassigning to Fabian.  The DOM reference is just wrong (the implementation
follows the W3C spec).

And yes, that example would not really work...  :)

Ian, I thought we had already fixed this example before? Or was it the one for
HTML elements?
