What DOM draft are you talking about? The only documents the DOM Working
Group has released are the requirements [1] and a FAQ [2]. The HTML 4.0
specification only defines necessary hooks for scripting. It doesn't
define any API. This is addressed within the DOM Working Group [3].

Definitely not. And the DOM work is based on HTML 4.0, so you should not
be concerned about inconsistencies.
