Alexander, Although I do not believe that any standards actually document this, it is my understanding of the standard web page processing model is that you have single-threaded access to the DOM. Even with Microsoft's next-generation user interface system, XAML/Avalon, there is only one "user interface thread", even though you have have any number of other threads such as multiple threads talking to Indigo communications services. Similarly, in the standards-based world, my understanding is that you have single-threaded access to the DOM, but it is very possible to have other threads within your scripting engines, assuming the programming language supports threads; however, usually the extra threads need to access the main DOM thread one at a time.
