We did go through the Groves property set to make sure that we weren't missing anything. So I think the DOM WG is comfortable with having an API that is inspired by, and partially consistent with the Groves model, but it is not our objective to maintain consistency with the Groves model for its own sake If you feel that there is some specific thing in the Grove model that should be in the DOM, your suggestions would be welcomed.
