They do? We've been trying to stay clear of using DOM for anything new and on top of that we haven't used prefixes new things generally, such as Path or ImageData. The new JavaScript global-exposed objects System, Symbol, etc. also will be introduced as such. If they are more general than viewport rectangles (which suggests ClientRect) and you cannot use Rect, RenderRect or LayoutRect or whatever subsystem is responsible for them seems more suitable. "DOM" is largely legacy and a hack. -- http://annevankesteren.nl/
