| This specification defines the Document Object Model Load and |
| Save Level 3, a platform- and language-neutral interface that |
| allows programs and scripts to dynamically load the content of |
| an XML document into a DOM document and serialize a DOM document |
| into an XML document; DOM documents being defined in [<a class='noxref' href='references.html#DOM2Core'>DOM Level 2 Core</a>] or newer, and XML documents being defined in |
| [<a class='noxref' href='references.html#XML'>XML 1.0</a>] or newer. It also allows filtering of |
| content at load time and at serialization time. |
