I don't want to nitpick but DOM is just an API (of W3 origins, which also makes it a standard). "The DOM is not a JavaScript concept. It is an object model for web browsers" The first part is correct, but the second is a little off. You might want to say "used _by_ web browsers..." or something along those lines.

This is from Douglas Crockford's talk, "An Inconvenient API - The Theory of the DOM," which is perhaps the best title ever for a programming lecture. The way he adapted Al Gore's cover art is so inspired, it's just sheer perfection.
