I would, however, mention that this effort should be more careful than the DOM REC about leaving artifacts in the interface for certain languages. What I have in mind is the DOM REC's mess with regard to attributes, which I heard was left in to give ECMAScript a leg-up. This sort of tinkering is an easy trap to fall into, and just ends up tripping up those of us implementing in different languages, such as Python.
