These sections of HTML5 could easily be taken out and make into independent specs:

These specs currently have active editors, but have historically spent time abandoned:
* A rewrite of DOM2 Traversal.
* DOM3 Events
* A rewrite of DOM2 Range.
* Keyboard Events -- .charCode, .keyCode, and related stuff (mostly defining legacy interfaces)
* User Interaction Events (onclick, onkeypress, etc).
* setTimeout
* [http://developer.mozilla.org/En/DOM/Window.atob window.atob]
* Web DOM4 Core -- culling the server-side features from DOM3 Core, adding features that would help the web, adding generic exceptions that would help other specs out.
