This specification defines the Document Object Model Load and
Save Level 3, a platform- and language-neutral interface that
allows programs and scripts to dynamically load the content of
an XML document into a DOM document and serialize a DOM document
into an XML document; DOM documents being defined in [DOM Level 2 Core] or newer, and XML documents being defined in
[XML 1.0] or newer.
This section describes the status of this document at the
time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this

revision of this technical report can be found in the W3C technical reports index
at http://www.w3.org/TR/.
This document contains the Document Object Model Level 3 Load
and Save specification and is a Candidate
Recommendation Working Draft for review by W3C members and
other interested parties. It is based on the feedback during the
Last
Call period and the feedback received on the DOM Level 3
Core specification. The DOM Working Group expects to request
that the Director advance this specification to Proposed
Recommendation after the DOM Working Group documents two
interoperable implementations of at least one normative
binding. Basic tests of functionalities provided in this
specification will be produced and used in this effort. The two
implementations must be produced by different
organizations. Implementation feedbacks are welcome until 30
November 2003 and have to be sent to the public mailing list
www-dom@w3.org (public archive).
Individuals or organizations are also invited to send a message
to the public mailing list if they intend to produce an
implementation of this module. The implementation
report is available.
Given the lack of implementation commitments regarding character
normalization, the DOM Working Group considers it "at
risk". This affects the "check-character-normalization"
and "normalize-characters"
parameters defined in the DOMConfiguration
interface in the [DOM Level 3 Core]. The Working Group may
remove the parameters before requesting Proposed Recommendation
status.
Publication as a Candidate Recommendation does not imply
endorsement by the W3C Membership. This is a draft document and
may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any
time. It is inappropriate to cite this document as other than
work in progress.
This document has been produced as part of the W3C DOM
Activity. The authors of this document are the DOM Working
Group members.
