All standard DOM's rely on proprietary methods of getting to the Document Object as this is not defined in any standard other than DOM0 as you note, which is an invention not a standard. There are large parts which are not standardised (and the DOM group have said aren't within their scope) of course all 20+ javascript capable browsers do have DOM0 as in mimic NS3/4 (mostly some of it's IE.)
