I thought the rms was saying "why store data somewhere other than a
buffer?". In other words, why add DOM (for example) to Emacs so that
we can store text in it when we already have text buffers?
The above snippet puts the document structure into the buffer. But it
doesn't tie the document structure to one form. It can be anything
that you can represent with elements and styles.

Ok. I'll have to look at that. Thanks.
