See issue #160: http://server.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear.html#160 >add a P2 requirement to be able to navigate a Document tree (parent-child, >and sibling-sibling, moving each way). This is an extension of 7.6 JRG: We have had this type of checkpoint before too. The main problem with the DOM is that is a programmatic view of the document and there are few documents where the human semantic structure of the document is reflected in the W3C DOM. I also don't think most users have a container model for navigating a document. In summary these seem to be rehashes of old proposals the group has already gone through and rejected for various reasons. They also don't clearly state the problem to the developer on the problem that is being solved.
