Element.removeAttribute() throws DOMException with undeclared code

Name: eaR10174 Date: 03/28/2001


  The implementation of the method org.w3c.dom.Element.removeAttribute() throws
DOMException with NOT_FOUND_ERR code (See test.java below), but the definition of
this method doesn't declare such code
(http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Core-20001113/core.html#ID-745549614):
  
  "removeAttribute
       .....
       Exceptions
           DOMException NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is
           readonly."

  The bug has appeared since the build jaxp-1_1-ea-bin-b07-02_oct_2000 till the build
jaxp-1.1.1-b23-23_mar_2001 and affects the old tests in TCK JAXP 1.1
