Alright, how about "DOM4"?
I suspect it is the inclusion of the word "core" that causes the
confusion, not the lack of a version number. If you google "dom core"
you get lots of hits for various old Level 2 and Level 3 specs. Given
how much this spec removes from level 2 and level 3, it seem strange to
give it a version number in the same series...
How about "WebDOM" instead?
I am not really a fan of the "Web" prefix anymore. It is pretty clear
these are specifications for the web platform. No need to say so in the
title. We prefixed it initially because we thought there would be a group
of people against a somewhat drastic revision of the DOM. This turned out
much better than expected so we could drop the prefix. I think we are now
at the point where we could drop the suffix.
The reason for giving it a version number is that the W3C works with
snapshots at the moment.
