Bringing that point up just before publication as a means to block said
publication is not helpful. There has been ample opportunity for Microsoft
to discuss this.
As I wrote in the separate thread to Art, we prefer a scoped spec where
we've agreed which problems we're trying to solve rather than something
open ended. "DOM4" seems a bit too unbounded in that context but
agreeing on the goals for this spec, be it Core or something else will
help answer the questions.
The goals of the specification are listed in the specification. I have
clarified them even further hoping it will resolve the stated confusion.

I think there are some good ideas in this spec including some things
that will be helpful to developers to have written down. We spent a lot
of time while we were building IE9 testing to see which parts of the DOM
specs were applicable to the browsable web platform. This is something
we will continue to help with though our immediate priority is helping
to move DOM L3 Events forward.
Looking forward to your first set of technical feedback.
