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? XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
