[3] The createDocumentTypeDefinition method returns a DocumentType node or raises a DOMException. It creates a DocumentType node of the given name, belonging to the document.

[3] The createElementTypeDefinition method returns an ElementTypeDefinition node or raises a DOMException. It creates an ElementTypeDefinition node of the given name, belonging to the document.

[4] The createAttributeDefinition method returns an AttributeDefinition node or raises a DOMException. It creates an AttributeDefinition node of the given name, belonging to the document.

[10] The createGeneralEntity method returns an Entity node or raises a DOMException. It creates an Entity node, which represents a general entity, of the given name, belonging to the document.

[12] The createNotation method returns a Notation node or raises a DOMException. It creates a Notation node of the given name, belonging to the document.

[5] These method take a parameter name, of type DOMString. It is the document type name, element type name, or attribute name of the node to be created.

[6] The createDocumentTypeDefinition method MUST create a DocumentType object with the following attribute values:

• attributes, parentNode: null.
• elementTypes, generalEntities, notations: Empty NamedNodeMaps.
• childNodes: An empty NodeList.
• entities: The same NamedNodeMap as generalEntities.
• internalSubset, publicId, systemId: Empty strings.
• manakaiReadOnly: false.
• nodeName: name.
• ownerDocument: The Document node on which the method is invoked.

In addition, it MUST be marked as containing five general entity declarations for XML predefined entities, i.e. amp, lt, gt, quot, and apos.

[8] The createElementTypeDefinition method MUST create an ElementTypeDefinition object with the following attribute values:

• attributeDefinitions: An empty NamedNodeMap.
• attributes, parentNode: null.
• childNodes: An empty NodeList.
• manakaiReadOnly: false.
• nodeName: name.
• ownerDocument: The Document node on which the method is invoked.
• ownerDocumentTypeDefinition: null.

[9] The createAttributeDefinition method MUST create an AttributeDefinition object with the following attribute values:

• allowedTokens: An empty DOMStringList.
• attributes, parentNode: null.
• childNodes: An empty NodeList.
• declaredType: NO_TYPE_ATTR.
• defaultType: UNKNOWN_DEFAULT.
• manakaiReadOnly: false.
• nodeName: name.
• ownerDocument: The Document node on which the method is invoked.
• ownerElementTypeDefinition: null.

[11] The createGeneralEntity method MUST create an Entity node with the following attribute values:

• attributes, parentNode: null.
• childNodes: An empty NodeList.
• manakaiDeclarationBaseURI: No explicit value is set.
• manakaiEntityBaseURI: No explicit value is set.
• manakaiEntityURI: No explicit value is set.
• manakaiHasReplacementTree: false.
• manakaiReadOnly: false.
• nodeName: name.
• notationName: null.
• ownerDocument: The Document node on which the method is invoked.
• ownerDocumentTypeDefinition: null.
• publicId: null.
• systemId: null.

[13] The createNotation method MUST create a Notation node with the following attribute values:

• attributes, parentNode: null.
• childNodes: An empty NodeList.
• manakaiDeclarationBaseURI: No explicit value is set.
• manakaiReadOnly: false.
• nodeName: name.
• ownerDocument: The Document node on which the method is invoked.
• ownerDocumentTypeDefinition: null.
• publicId: null.
• systemId: null.

[7] These method MUST raise an INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR DOMException if the name is not a legal name according to the XML version in use as specified in the xmlVersion attribute of the Document node.

Otherwise, these method MUST return the newly created node.
