I propose calling it "Web Core".
WC1 (Web Core version 1).

The "Web" semantic is popular, easy.

The w3c lists are heavy with the "web" semantic: web apps, web 
components, web events.
The primary dependency for DOMCore is named Web IDL.

It'd give DOM3 some breathing room, to go down its own track.

I'd much prefer to go around referring to Web IDL and Web Core.
