Ms2ger,
Last September, some obsolescence text was added to the DOM 2 Views REC:
[[
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Views/#notice-20110922
http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Views-20001113/
*Document Status Update 2011-09-22*: This paragraph is informative. The
concepts this document defines are obsolete. The 'document' and
'defaultView' attributes are defined in the HTML5
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/> specification with simplified semantics.
The Web Applications Working Group <http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/>
encourages implementation of these concepts as defined by HTML5.
]]
I think the proponents for adding obsolescence text to the other RECs
should make a specific proposal for each REC.

Hi all,
The recent message to www-dom about DOM2HTML [1] made me realize that
we still haven't added warnings to obsolete DOM specifications to
hopefully avoid that people use them as a reference.
I propose that we add a pointer to the contemporary specification to
the following specifications:
* DOM 2 Core (DOM4)
* DOM 2 Views (HTML)
* DOM 2 Events (D3E)
* DOM 2 Style (CSSOM)
* DOM 2 Traversal and Range (DOM4)
* DOM 2 HTML (HTML)
* DOM 3 Core (DOM4)
and a recommendation against implementing the following specifications:
* DOM 3 Load and Save
* DOM 3 Validation
Hearing no objections, I'll try to move this forward.
