Thanks, Boris. Does anyone know if *anyone* actually takes advantage of DOM2 Views in a way that provides real value to users or developers? It is smelling like a feature which had good intentions but was put into recommendation status prematurely.

If so, how does an > alternate view manifest itself in Mozilla? Mozilla does support DOM2 Views, but there are no real alternate views. That is, at the moment the only view around is the defaultView of the document, which coincides with the Window object. There has been discussion in the past about having printing and print preview be a alternate views, but that's not how they're implemented currently, and it's not clear whether they ever will be implemented that way. -Boris
