Thank you for bringing this to my attention.  Since the comp.lang.javascript 
FAQ remains unmaintained, and I have not yet received good suggestions to 
resolve the issue, I have updated this paragraph in the FAQ for 
comp.lang.javascript as follows:

| For historical reasons, the term “javascript” is used herein as a
| shorthand for “ECMAScript-based programming languages”. Note that not all
| uses of that term here are correct. For example, there are instances where
| using “DOM” instead would have been correct. This will be fixed in a later
| revision.

I have also made some other small adjustments.  Please see the SVN changelog 
for details.
