Well, since my goal for the object documentation is to have everything be highly cross-referenced, linking to an external set of pages wouldn't work well, especially since my documentation is in a different format. To make the dom reference fit well with the rest of my documentation, it would necessitate absorbing the documentation currently available. For a variety of reasons, one of the main ones being that I've found documenting the Mozilla object model to be a highly educational experience, I felt it would "fit" better if all the documentation on the site had not only the same format, but the same writing style. I wouldn't object to taking and converting the existing dom reference, but I didn't want to step on anyone's toes. > As a more general point, it seems to me that all this documentation > would be a good fit on developer.mozilla.org.

I wouldn't mind coordinating with devmo, but again, due to the complexity of the project (e.g. its not static files, but rendered in an XSL application server) it has very particular hosting requirements. Besides, the way I've approached this project to date is similar to xulplanet.com. It gives me an opportunity to create a highly focused set of documentation, similar to MSDN, that can stand on its own. -- Michael A.
