parsing/serialization?

DOM3 Load and Save is already standardised as far as I can tell. I don't
see why HTML5 would have to say anything about it.
The hope was that there would be some added impetus to have browsers
settle on a standard way of doing this, since to my knowledge, it looks
to me like only Opera has implemented DOM Level 3 L&S
Opera's implementation is buggy. The async version never fires a load
event, handling of errors is all messed up and some functions don't work.
It's pretty much useless except for synchronous loading in perfect
conditions.
It seems that everyone wants DOM3 L&S to die and to have everyone use JS
to make their own wrapper around XHR + DOMParser + XMLSerializer etc. to
do what DOM3 L&S does.
