Hi Dave,

The spec states (just after the TABLE example on page 11):
One important property of DOM structure models is structural
isomorphism: if any two Document Object Model implementations
are used to create a representation of the same document, they
will create the same structure model, with precisely the same
objects and relationships.
If *any* two DOM implementations shall create the same structure model,
then this model must be well defined. So I think it's not out of scope.
Cheers,
Oliver
