XML vs. HTML
- XML is very general, but not much is known about a specific application of XML
- More is known about HTML tags
- DOM Level 1 defines a set of objects for Core XML and a separate DOM HTML
(compliant DOM Level 1 implementations must implement both)
- Recent W3C recommendationa define their own DOM objects (eg, SVG, MathML 2.0). These are
extensions (subtypes) of objects in the Core XML DOM
