However I as long as the DOM is the API that we have available, that doesn't really change any of my arguments. If another API other than the DOM was proposed, then that might change things. I'm not convinced that replacing the DOM is realistic given how widely it is used, but until there is an actual proposal to discuss the question is theoretical. / Jonas
