>>Re: change ref to DOM3 Core. There has been no discussion of that, but if you >>feel it should be changed, please open a bug for that so that we can discuss it.

and Anne comment (https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=25359#c5)

any plans for changing ref to a more current spec? I see that D3E was started a
long time ago (Tom Pixley, Netscape Communications Corporation (until Jul
2002)), and now still is not a recommendation. 

Maybe will be better it this document would base on the current DOM spec, which
at the moment has good quality (and exist in two version: W3C and WHATWG). Many
other specifications for a long time refers to the latest DOM (including
HTML5).

This change could simplify the base D3E document, we don't need again defined
basic interface, like Event, CustomEvent, EventTarget, EventListener (and
probably DocumentEvent too). And some definition would be more consistent (like
'dispatch' and 'fire', which in new DOM are not synonymous). Current
implementations (like browsers) when introducing new things using only the
latest version of the DOM. For this implementations some concepts from D3E are
still something news, but their definitions include the old DOM refs.

If not changing this version of the document is worth considering such a change
on the next version D3E. It's just my little thoughts, but if someone wants to
write something specific (with justification) please feel free.
