Other than HTML and XHTML, markup language specs from the W3C have moved to including definitions of the relevant DOM interfaces and other DOM support. This includes SVG, MathML, XBL2, XForms and SMIL3. I cannot offhand think of a W3C markup language other than HTML which has specialized DOM interfaces, but which doesn't specify them in the same document as the markup language itself. Therefore it seems to me that the W3C as a whole is moving away from the model you propose. I think HTML5 should stay aligned with that direction. Regard, Maciej
