HTML is wrong. Every node has an offset, be it an HTML node, an XML node, or 
some other yet-to-be-invented node. So the information must be provided on a

limited to.

The layers must stay separated, i. e. the DOM interfaces may call DOM 
implementations, but accessing the rendering tree is to be done from within 
the DOM implementations.

title(), lang() only access methods of their respective implementation.
