One of the early gripes with the DOM was browser/editor-specific functionality imposing significant performance overheads (in terms of the maintenance of book-keeping data) on server-side applications of the DOM. From my POV the result was much too browser/editor-centric. I don't really remember much of these discussions revolving around the preservation or otherwise of lexical information, and where they did, eg. CDATA sections, entity boundaries and comments, it stayed in ... which IIRC is why they're in the Infoset and SAX2. Cheers, Miles
