Yeah. As we're currently using spidermonkey it makes sense to me to implement 
our version of the firefox DOM since this'll also mean we get
engine-appropriate js if there are any spidermonkey-specific work-arounds or
optimisations used by websites independant of the DOM.

As you say though, it'll be a *lot* of work to get right.
