The DOM API already provides all the methods needed to create and work with multiple documents: document.implementation.createDocument document.implementation.createHTMLDocument Further XMLHttpRequest already returns a 'document' for XML based remote documents (.responseXML), and for non XML based documents such as HTML you can simply load the XMLHttpRequest's .responseText in to createHTMLDocument. Thus the RDFa API already parses documents (location is orthogonal) and the various common APIs of the web provided everything needed to implement this functionality in circa 10 lines of userland code. The only related issue to this is cross origin issues, but I believe these are both orthogonal to the working groups remit and a solution exists to address this (CORS or Proxy). Best, Nathan
