Browser Object Model

Is there any W3C standardization effort on the "Browser Object Model"
used by popular web browsers (Netscape and Internet Explorer) in JavaScript?
Such as window.alert() to bring up a dialog box.

This doesn't seems to be part of W3C DOM, and perhaps it shouldn't be.
But it's neither part if the ECMAScript standard, so there is a gap.
The implementation by Microsoft and Netscape are not the same (though they are similar), so some standardization would be nice.
