This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
The ECMAScript harness provided an option to use a DOM L3 LS document loader (as an alternative to IFrame, etc), however as there were no implementation of LS for ECMAScript at the time of writing, the code could not be tested at that time. Now that there are starting to be ECMAScript implementations, the code can be test and the latent bugs eliminated.
