That doesn't really work for me. What would work for me is something like:

"Although DOM Level 2 continues to be subject to Errata
Management<http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html#errata>,
it is no longer being actively maintained. Content authors and implementers
are encouraged to consider the use of newer formulations of the Document
Object Model, including DOM4 <http://www.w3.org/TR/dom/>, which is
currently in process for Advancing a Technical Report to
Recommendation<http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html#rec-advance>
."
