And as I point out, supports varies application language by application
language. As has been asked elsewhere, who would bother using
the rawDOM since "it is an implementer's tool, not a content
developer's tool".
Data structures: underneath the thin veneer, all apps have their
own. So, should we make resource intensive applications take
the penalty of being in the same box as a text display engine?
