This is an alpha release. So far, the level-2 core, HTML and event
DOM interfaces have been implemented, and some of the level-2 style
sheet interfaces.

Bug fixes:
• An extraneous <body> tag no longer closes currently open tags,
turning <form><body><input> into <form></form><input> (RT #75997).
Thanks to Tomki Camp for the report.
• The weird colour methods of the document (fgColor, etc.) no longer
die when there is no body element.
