This is still a major interoperability issue for web developers even with recent versions of browsers, maybe not for the DOM, but we have no way to control for instance client side transformations in a browser. I don't want to discuss if it should be done by the W3C or not, but there still are contexts in which interoperable and standardized APIs are badly needed!
