Well, why don't we just fork?
We copy the current files in DOMRef, archive them as First Edition, and link to it from the current DOMRef header page. We rename the current header page to call the current URI a Second Edition. That frees us up to make whatever changes we feel are reasonable, including bugfixing. We can lock down 1e permanently, and still have a full set of files to make changes to.
Heck, W3C does it all the time. XML 1.0 is up to its 3rd Edition. It might be as simple as contacting the authors (if the Mozilla Foundation doesn't own the copyright) and asking them if we can do this. If the Foundation *does* own the copyright, we just ask Mitchell Baker.
