TC39 has nothing to do with DOM APIs... but you're right that backward compatibility and "don't break the Web" is one of many reasons why this idea would never fly.
- vikingcaffiene 7y ago> TC39 has nothing to do with DOM APIs Doh! Yeah you are right (and I feel dumb). I suppose that would be more of a w3c/browser vendor thing wouldn't it? Appreciate the support on the rest of it. :-)

The DOM APIs grew slowly mostly because of the general stagnation in the browser market, but they have been a long-lived, relatively successful API on which popular things like jQuery (or its competitors) could be based.
