 The Document Object Model is being defined by the W3C in stages, or

 substantially based on the DOM Level 2 recommendation.  Some aspects

 DOM applications typically start by parsing some XML into a DOM.  How

 Once you have a DOM document object, you can access the parts of your
 XML document through its properties and methods.  These properties are
