So, essentially, my plan is that my reference could replace the domref

Ok. You might want to contact the domref authors to see if you can just
lift off content from those pages. And talk to Doron, he has some DOM
reference documentation in the works.
I'm interested in the back end you're using to generate your site.
What format is the reference in, and where does the HTML design
come from?
The HTML design was more-or-less written by me, though it was inspired
by safari.oreilly.com and ...
The format of the XML files is custom, mainly to make editing of the
content as easy as possible. I also have a series of scripts that
analyze the documentation tree to notify me of broken references,
incomplete sections, etc.
I'm adding XLIFF support to allow the documentation to be translated to
other languages efficiently. (translators wanted. :-)
Would you be interested in syncing formats with developer.mozilla.org?
I can help you bring your HTML in line with the mozilla.org style guide
and you can help us set up a compatible back end for similar references
outside the AOM's scope. So far we've only got Darin's XPCOM reference,
which is also written in XML. We're using a static build system, where
the XSLT transformation is performed once to convert pages from XML in
the source directory to wrapped HTML in the destination directory. I
think we'll probably want to stay static, but having the XML storage
format and the XSLT match seems like a good idea.
