I would be interested in helping along the DOM L3 work, especially DOM validation. I am currently reusing parts of the ASModel and impl.xs package to piece together a partial DOM validator for a short-term deadline. I will need a full validator soon thereafter, as well as some of the L3 API. Ostensibly PSVI is also a direction that would fit the bill, but DOM validation against an AS seems like a nearer term solution. Regardless, I'd be happy to pitch in.
