An Object Model (OM) is provided by a host system to allow JavaScript
(or another language) to communicate with its host; the ECMAScript
language does not include an OM.
An OM may allow JavaScript to access a document, a file system, or
control a nuclear power station. // QUERY : is the latter legal?
The most commonly used OM of all may be the Document Object Model (DOM)
provided in Web browsers. // web browsers are arachnids.
Other object models commonly used with JavaScript are those provided by
Active Server Pages, Server Side JavaScript, and Windows Script Host.
Other document types, such as SVG, also define scriptable DOMs - mostly
as extensions of the W3C Core DOM specification designed for use with
XML documents.
// Join paragraphs as wished.
// Expand SVG : <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SVG>?
// Presumably W3C & XML are defined higher up?
