What are you talking about?

Again, why? 

1. DOMs are specified using *interfaces* that are to be *implemented*.

2. Interfaces are a concept of, and are intended for use in,
   *object-oriented programming languages*.

3. ECMAScript *implementations* *are* object-oriented programming languages.

Where is the mismatch?

Throwing a bunch of URIs at people is no substitute for a sound argument.
