Subject:WDOM Version? [was Re: [cgmo-webcgm] 5.7.2 getAppName() and getAppVersion()]

This raises an interesting question. How does an application know the version of the WDOM standard that the underlying implementation supports? E.g., how does an app. figure out if it is dealing with WDOM 2.0 or WDOM 2.1 (which might add some interfaces or properties or ...), and maybe include conditional code accordingly?

Okay, the information might be implicit in getAppVersion, but that is implementation-dependent. I'm wondering if there is, or should be, an implementation-independent way.

I haven't checked DOM2 or DOM3, or SVG DOM. Does anyone know offhand, how (or if) they deal with it?

Hello,

Here is my first cut at 5.7.2 Comments and/or feedback welcome. I was not sure if we wanted the getAppName() and getAppVersion() to throw an exception or not, but it is easier to delete the text than to write it.

Thanks, Stuart Galt.
