That question is maningless.
And that would make more sense if it was "meaningless".
It would make even more sense if you would explain why or how
it's meaningless. If you decide to use a DOM-2 feature in a web
page, aren't you using DOM-2? What's meaningless about that?
Also, what about DOM-1 vs. DOM-2?
I'm asking the general question about how you decide
what features to use, not just level 0 and level 2.
Do essentially all browsers support DOM-1 these days?
Is it much safer than DOM-2?
>What are the issues you have to worry about?
Designing the whole system so that there are sensible outcomes following
the verification of the unavailability of features required by scripts.
But more specifically, suppose you can write the whole page without
DOM-2 features. Is there any reason you should use DOM-2 anyway
just because it's more up-to-date? Or should it be avoided except
where lower levels don't provide the functionality you need?
How aggressive should you be about moving away from lower DOM levels?
