Just when you thought w3c had lost the plot...

You can't have browsers complying to 'open standards' and APIs
unless these issues are brought back on track as the core activity of the 
w3c.

Some of these are long overdue..
Most of these are essential if we are going to get anything near to writing 
browser DOM scripts.

 "The DOM Level 3 Events specification (in coordination with a future DOM 
IG/WG).
Currently a W3C Note, the DOM Level 3 Events specification is an essential 
piece of the W3C's Web application framework. This specification will be 
returned to the active Recommendation track, with required enhancements for 
modern web clients (such as mobile devices). "

"The DOM Level 3 XPath specification (in coordination with the DOM IG/WG).
Currently a W3C Note, the DOM Level 3 XPath specification is a useful 
component in the W3C's Web application framework. This specification will be 
returned to the active Recommendation track with any required modifications. 
"

Why was work on these stopped in the first place.
Probably because IE was a dead browser with a frozen DOM 1-2 implementation

Why bring them back from the dead.. Probably because of AJAX popularity.

Take care
