DOM gives you programmers access to the parse tree of the document. my
document says

 <foo><bar>hello</bar><overbar><bar>goodbye</bar></overbar></foo>

and the DOM will let you get at the bar elements inside overbars. how
do you get from there to your byte codes? yes, you need a hard-wired
conversion, or a transformation to a language that *is* understood
(like PGML, or Voyager HTML)
