Excerpted from the "Status of this Document" section: " This specification is now in the Candidate Recommendation phase. This means the specification is stable, and there will be a period to allow implementation of the specification. After this CR phase ends, on January 19, the specification will move into the Proposed Recommendation phase and it will be sent to the W3C membership for review."

Summary: The Document Object Model Level 2 specification builds on the Level 1a platform- and language-neutral interface to allow programs and scripts to dynamically access and update the content, structure and style of documents.

This release of the Document Object Model Level 2 contains interfaces for creating a document, importing a node from one document to another, supporting XML namespaces, associating stylesheets with a document, the Cascading Style Sheets object model, the Range object model, filters and iterators, and the Events object model, and does include all of the interfaces that the final version is expected to have.
