RE: DOM Dependency

It has been discussed many times in this WG, the browser is not the only target for the APIs, stand-alone and server side are also targets, the specification should not have a dependency on DOM and a bug should be opened to resolve this.

Can you point that out in the charter?

We're talking about the same dependency found in HTML - namely, the notion of a sane event model.

I'd be curious to see how you would propose an asynchronous API without events and without re-inventing events through some specification-specific dialect.

The phrase "Web Application" appears nine times in our charter, so surely this is not being seen as some new requirement. It's been this way since the start.
