Yes, this seems like a good idea to discuss. I'll raise it. 

BTW, it does help to discuss these things on the www-
dom@w3.org mailing list as well; that way everyone who's 
interested in the DOM can take part (I know some people who 
aren't subscribed to xml-dev because of the volume of email, but 
are subscribed to www-dom@w3.org).

thanks,

Lauren
