    <thetext>In the first section of DOM4, the specification states that the goal of making DOM4 is to consolidate the DOM platform, by...

&quot;1. By consolidating DOM Level 3 Core [DOM3CORE], Element Traversal [ELEMENTTRAVERSAL], the &quot;DOM Event Architecture&quot; and &quot;Basic Event Interfaces&quot; chapters of DOM Level 3 Events [DOM3EVENTS] (specific type of events do not belong in the base specification), and DOM Level 2 Traversal and Range [DOM2TR], and do the following:

    -Align them with the needs of ECMAScript where possible.
    -Align them with existing implementations.
    -Simplify them as much as possible.&quot;

Because &quot;consolidating&quot; ends in an ING, the next steps (&quot;and do the following&quot;) should be changed to &quot;and BY DOING the following&quot; and the first word of each bullet should be changed similarly - Aligning, Aligning, and Simplifying.

I think.
See (Goals: http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/domcore/raw-file/tip/Overview.html#goals).


Also, goal #3 (&quot;By defining a replacement for &quot;Mutation Events&quot; as modification listeners are fundamental to the DOM&quot;) is a little bit confusing.</thetext>
