The following comments relate to the "W3C Working Draft 09-October-97" as in http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-DOM/requirements-971009.html. They are not necessarily representative of the views of my employer. 1 For General Requirements item 8 >> 8. It must be possible to read in a document and write out a structurally identical document to disk >> (both documents can be represented by the same raw structural model) delete the words "to disk" because they are unnecessarily restrictive (and not matched by a constraint on reading). 2 For Document Manipulation item 3 >> 3. Operations must restore consistency before they return clarify the meaning of "Operations" in the context of the two preceding items [ie it may be necessary to combine several add/remove/change actions into a transaction-type operation if the individual actions do not maintain consistency]. 3 For Event Model item 3 >> 2. There will be interaction events, update events, and change events clarify the intended distinction between the three classes of event (especially, how they relate to the add/remove/change actions used elsewhere in the document). 4 Remove (if it is not significant) or clarify the difference in wording between >> Document Meta Information >> These are requirements for what must be exposed ... >> 1. There will be information about the document and ... and >> UA Information >> These are requirements for information about the user agent environment ... >> 1. There will be a way of obtaining relevant information about ... [They currently read as "there must be exposure, and it must cover information" and "there must be information, and it must be exposable".] Peter Jones Information Technology Consultant Technology Services Division Australian Bureau of Statistics email: peter.jones@abs.gov.au.
