The DOM (Document Object Model) is NOT a set of Javascript libraries.
It's the way the browser makes the currently loaded document (usually
an HTML page) available to the Javascript routines.

HTML5 encompasses a number of things, see http://diveintohtml5.info
for a look at the whole thing. It's not more JS libraries. There are
certainly more JS commands and abilities to take advantage of the new
features in HTML5.
