Two things: 1) The DOM spec is currently written in XML, and the JAVA and CORBA IDL bindings are automatically generated from the XML source. 2) One of my hacks from a year or so ago is to turn a set of source code into a DynaText book. It turned out to be very useful. DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
