There are multiple instances of *a* model of the Web. Several of these call themselves DOM, though I'm sure this group knows quite well just how different they really are. The map is not the world. The model is not the document. Any model is just a convenient local representation. The reality of the document is its text. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@metalab.unc.edu Java I/O 2nd Edition Just Published! http://www.cafeaulait.org/books/javaio2/ http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0596527500/ref=nosim/cafeaulaitA/
