This working draft defines the Document Object Model Abstract Schemas and Load and Save Level 3, a platform- and language-neutral interface that allows programs and scripts to dynamically access and update the content, structure and style of documents.

The Document Object Model Abstract Schemas and Load and Save Level 3 specification builds on the Document Object Model Core Level 3. It makes an optional DOM Level 3 Abstract Schema (AS) module available to provide a representation of XML abstract schemas, (e.g., DTDs and XML Schemas), operations on the abstract schemas and instructions about how to apply the information within the abstract schemas to XML documents (in both the document-editing and AS-editing worlds).

The working draft also provides additional well-formedness tests for XML documents and XML Namespaces.
