Thanks for the extensive info.

Aside from the fact that I picked up the term from Microsoft's web site, I
knew I shouldn't have said "the XML DOM" because I was really referring to
the conceptual model prescribed in the XPath 1.0 Recommendation. This model
happens to cover some of the same ground as "the" DOM Recommendations (DOM
Level 1, DOM Level 2...) but as Michael Kay said, it isn't a prescription
for implementation.

It seems like there's an awful lot of overlap between the nameless model
employed by XML 1.0, the Canonical XML model, the XML Information Set, the
DOM, and the nameless model used by XPath and XSLT. I'm not going to be so
bold as to suggest unification, but it would be nice to at least know how to
refer to the nameless models without causing confusion. In other words, can
we come up with a name for the XPath/XSLT model?
