Uh, you got me - I don't know as I haven't started yet...
I was merely referring to what dom.pas has at the top of itself:

DOM Level 3  -  Partially implemented

"It remains to be seen whether any DOM Level 3 additions will be needed into
DOM.pas since it states it's Partially Implemented"

Of course I will give feedback when (and if) I get any.

For now, I was merely asking, what direction the development should take,
and whether it's a good idea to make it into a Data Access palette component like 
T*DataSet, or is it 'overkill'.
