There is no DOM Level 3 spec. There is only a working draft. It is perfectly reasonable that the DOM3 prototype interfaces not claim to be the org.w3c.dom.* package, since they are not yet officially endorsed and are subject to change. Putting them in some other package until the WD becomes a REC really is the cleanest approach. If the experimental package is defined as a subclass of the DOM2 APIs, code which doesn't need to use the new features can be completely unaware of the difference, and code which does can cut over simply by changing the import statement. This isn't an official statement, since I'm no longer on the DOM WG. But it's what XML4J/Xerces did last time around, and everyone in the DOM WG said "Yeah, that's a very reasonable solution." --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
