— There it is, plain as day XD
I really hate WHATWG though because it can be specific like that sometimes, but other times you get weirdly vague stuff
— Like this
—
The appendChild(node) method, when invoked, must return the result of appending node to context object.
— And thus we have some janky return values sometimes... MDN had no information whatsoever on that until I added it
— I had to read Webkit source code to find out what is happening lol
— appendChild
literally just returns argument 1 without any sort of check, so the explanations of what it does are side effects of that
— But since we have special DocumentFragment behavior... which actually is documented there in the spec, it doesn't really match up
— That's about as informative as returns the result
— Nice stuff
— It is not an internal command
— Yea
