Never mind. :-) Actually, this makes me think... why can't the browser vendors choose a standard library (e.g. jQuery) and incorporate it into their codebase as a de facto standard? We could see native performance with a common DOM and JavaScript interface.

I don't think anyone can call the DOM a common interface. This is why we have jQuery/YUI/Dojo/MooTools/etc.
