<p>This specification defines the Document Object Model Level 2 Core, a platform-
and language-neutral interface that allows programs and scripts to dynamically
access and update the content and structure of documents. The Document
Object Model Level 2 Core builds on the Document Object Model Level 1 Core.</p>

<p>The DOM Level 2 Core is made of a set of core interfaces to create and
manipulate the structure and contents of a document. The Core also contains
specialized interfaces dedicated to XML.</p>
