There's nothing in the spec that says that DOMSubtreeModified needs other threads, or even permits firing the DOMSubtreeModified events on a different thread. Therefore, there is no need to have a processSubtreeModifed function in the DOM Events API. Let us know if you satisfy or not with our response, Philippe
