Re: DOM binding considered harmful, discriminates against open source]

Hi,
Could someone explain why free/open source would have to use different

the portability in Java once the DOM can support full portability(version
3?).

Thanks,
Eric

BTW, the explanation of changes / public comments is very nice and
appreciated
