John,

Docuverse is not a non-profit organization nor is it a purely
consulting-based business. We build development tools and high performance
servers. It is our intention to offer free commercial quality DOM
implementation to promote popularity of DOM-based software which will turn
increase the need for high performance DOM implementation which we intend to
introduce soon as a commercial product. To this end, it is important that
we promote our API and minimize proliferation of variations so that users
can simply 'plugin' the high performance version. Furthermore, we believe
that extensions are better than variations and we will make sure that our
API is easily extensible.

Best,

Don Park
