Freedom Scientific markets their products as making use of the DOM. However, they are not talking about the W3C DOMs -- they are talking about proprietary DOMs such as those that exist in Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel via very powerful COM or ActiveX interfaces. For their Internet Explorer support they currently parse the HTML themselves. Anyway, I think what a "DOM" is, is clear to us in the context of W3C document, but may not be clear to AT vendors who use many different kinds of DOMs. They are probably interested in any kinjd of cross-process interfaces that give them content.. In addition, the W3C DOM does not say anything about user intefaces, unless they are written in markup, which is not always the case. How does the UAAG suggest we expose information about our user interface widgets? Aaron
