Maybe I'm just missing something as available XBL docs are very sckatchy.
Any way, on having this content:
...
<content>
<children/>
<p>Top</p>
<element/>
<children/>
<p>Bottom</p>
</content>
...
The expected (by me only) layout if bound to a Test DIV would be:
Top
Test
Bottom
with DOM
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. HTML Page:
<html>
<head>
<title>Bx2</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-color: #FFFFFF}
div {
-moz-binding: url(Bx2.xml#AJAX)}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>Test</div>
</body>
</html>
2. Binding file Bx2.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<bindings xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/xbl">
<binding id="AJAX" applyauthorstyles="true" styleexplicitcontent="false">
<content>
<children/>
<p>Top</p>
<element/>
<children/>
<p>Bottom</p>
</content>
</binding>
</bindings>
Actual Results:
Firefox displays one string on the page:
TopTestBottom
DOM Inspector shows:
DIV
P |-> "Top"
element |-> empty
#text |-> "Test"
P |-> "Bottom"
Expected Results:
Not sure exactly about the tree view, but why <P> are not treated as block elements anymore? Should not it look like:
Top
Test
Bottom
?

Where did you get this information?
<element/> isn't implemented in current Mozilla's xbl implementation, styleexplicitcontent isn't implemented also.
I know there is indeed some very misleading information about xbl on the web.
At least this information about the xbl elements should be more or less correct now:

This is the source I was self-learning all last week. You mean to say it is a Microsoft diversion? Should be marked as such then. :-( :-)
And by the way the demo is borken (XML tags are not enclosed properly) - took me one day to figure out instead of blaming on my Firefox installation.
btw why did I jump on this page and not one you just linked? Simply because the mine is on the top in Google search results for "XBL".
Thanks for the new source: need to relearn now. You should really mark somehow the page at <http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xbl/xbl.html> or get it out completely.

I so much agree with this.

And as I said (and one may check) currently the "offending page" <http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xbl/xbl.html> is in top Google search results for "XBL". Thusly a simple 404 would be confusing for visitors.
The optimum would be IMHO to place a timed forwarder from <http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xbl/xbl.html> (replaced by some breaf excuse) to <http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/XBL:XBL_1.0_Reference>
And also: as long as the web-master of the relevant site section will possibly read this thread anyway:
Currently bindings are going with ...xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/xbl". If some curious user tries the address it will get 404 page. I understand you may not want to place some official DTD for the current implementation, but maybe something more encouraging than 404? "Thank you for using XBL" or "XBL Rulez!" or some ? :-)

Apparently this is something that will be done, see at the bottom:

I agree.
Perhaps you should file a new bug on this.

I posted about this to dev-mdc and no objections were posted; sheppy agreed with redirecting, so I added this to the list of things to be redirected the next time someone goes through MDC:Needs_Redirect.
