We did not say it does not apply. We simply state that we do not require
AbstractView to be implemented, nor do we prevent implementations from using
it. 

Can you state explicitly why you think it should be required?

Sorry, I misstated. I meant to say that CSS-OM is the only specification
*requiring* AbstractView.

Putting aside the fact that this is onlt a draft in progress, and thus
subject to change, it is not clear to me how that spec is incompatible. Can
you explain?
