DocumentType in Level 1 is mostly a placeholder... Right. Since Notations are effectively read-only due to the fact that we don't expose editing operations on the DTD information via the DOM API, there's no reason for a Factory method. BTW, the WG just agreed *not* to do much on defining an API for validation or editing the "DTD" information until the schema situation is clarified; we're concerned that hard work would be nullified by changes in this rapidly evolving area. I don't know what this means in terms of actual time, but we won't tackle that until Range, Style, Events, and Query interfaces are defined. Mike Champion
