Rob/Glenn- Noone in TV-land is trying to characterize IE and Netscape behavior. The issue is that DOM1 is too much, and there is a need for something less. We can call it DOM0v2, or DOM0.5, or DOM-TV-0 DOM-TV-0 may never be used on the Internet, but that doesn't make it any less fruitful to pursue...
