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?
