	One thing I'm not clear on is why using 'DOM' ( apart from the obvious
TLA benefits =) is a good idea at all ? I understand that some scripting
( JavaScript ? ) uses a similar structure, and thus it's easier to
support scripting but ...

	Things might have changed, but is the DOM used successfully in any
non-web browser ? I remember it being mooted ( I think ) as a global
document module solution to every problem, did that happen or not ?

	Also; it seems to me there is a world of difference between providing
an interface that complies with the spec, and actually storing the data
using that object model.

	What's the story these days ? and why do we need DOMness ?

	Regards,

		Michael.
