They're using to generate bindings, for JavaScript, Objective-C, and  
COM, so programs using WebKit can get at the DOM from those languages.  
The actual DOM implementation is in C++ and includes many things that  
are not intended to be public.

The JavaScript bindings are the way the DOM is exposed to scripts in  
web pages, while the Objective-C bindings are the way the DOM is  
exposed to programs on Mac OS X using the WebKit framework.
