Hi there, In your DOM specifications' glossaries, you've mention about DOM 0, eg this URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/WD-DOM-Level-1-20000929/glossary.html#dt-DOM-Level -0 <http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/WD-DOM-Level-1-20000929/glossary.html#dt-DOM-Leve l-0> However, why you didn't just call it BOM (Browser Object Model) or NOM (Navigator Object Model) instead of using this slang of DOM-0 ? Actually, my request is based on two points: 1) it's confusing because DOM-0 would mislead us to think about Document whereas it's actually Navigator that we're talking about. 2) as a consortium, your every decision has a very big impact and infuence on others. And right now, many people are taking DOM-0 as _standard_ and they would state your glossary as reference, but in fact, you _did_not_ define such a term as DOM-0. You just borrowed it (as stated at the beginning of the glossary but visibly few people had noticed that paragraph). So I hope that you could do something to rectify this confusion. Respectfully yours, SEAK Teng-Fong FuturMaster Tel : +33 (0) 1.46.08.05.96 Fax : +33 (0) 1.46.08.03.88
