The old reference on mozilla.org was very bad; we're trying to update
it after having moved it into the MDC wiki. The zip file contains the
old version, I'll try to get it removed.

(I'd appreciate if you CC me when replying, as I don't read this
group).

Perhaps this comment doesn't apply to this page in particular but
removing old documentation makes it difficult to research how old
browsers work. Those browsers never stop existing. I recently found
some broken links to the netscape domain and I wish the info had still
been there.

Yes, this comment doesn't apply to the old Gecko DOM Reference. It was
awful and contained almost no useful information.
