See the W3C spec ... conceptually DOM consists of

    - core ... most of the "XML DOM"
    - html ... core + lots of convenience functions
    - xml ... core + incompete DTD supportand PIs

Plus beginning with DOM "Level" 2, lots of additional modules that
mostly are independent of html or xml.

Yes there's a lot of MSFT-specific stuff, and MSFT hasn't bothered
to make their docs call out which things are proprietary.  Bindings for
COM are not standard.
