Web authors don't encounter a consistent pattern, and what is and
isn't a DOM Recommendation API is an artificial distinction that
doesn't matter to most of them, though interoperability does (of
course). If the issue is only one of clarity and consistency, then I
heartily concur with Ian--that's what editors are for.

Recommendations seem to vary widely in that regard.
