	I think it's unlikely to be worthwhile having a single DOM tree split
across processes - this is not an application I'd use Bonobo for; the
DOM API is highly granular which doesn't suit IPC IMHO.

	Then again, if you're only going to proxy user-interaction, then
perhaps it's worthwhile, in general the more chunky the separation you
can achieve between components - the better; ie. why do you want to
export this DOM interface ?

	Interesting though,

	Regards,

		Michael.
