That's a great idea, Greg, though personally I'd like to work on getting
the stuff down at least in some basic way in these docs. Then maybe we
could pour the descriptions into the IDLs afterwards?
I've just updated the domref and added a zipped version at
www.mozilla.org/docs/dom/domref.zip. It's not complete yet, of course,
but I did manage to get a few more of the window apis filled in and some
better introductory info with Fabian's invaluable assistance.
Will be working on getting the style and event obects into the domref soon.
