This confusion seems to come up a lot since DOM is part of

The reason for using it was in part that there were people there who were
working on dom and not on the (quite high traffic) webapps list which
discusses many other things.
The confusion is not going to go away by changing the proper mailing
list again
Right :S
the case is a good example, since the commenter references
the right document and that document says to post to www-dom, but he
sent it elsewhere. Others will assume www-dom is the right list for
various reasons
Like, because many DOM documents say so...
and so you will end up with discussions on both lists.
Yeah. By and large (there are exceptions, and editors have to track them,
but that will always be so) the discussion has managed to sit on www-dom
for a long time.
The main thing that "let's use some other list" does where participants
are not very well synchronized is annoying people with "You posted to
the wrong list!" mails. An option might be to merge them, but that may
be a first for the W3C, so it's unclear that the infrastructure would
support this.
It's probably possible. It is likely a bunch of manual work, and I doubt
it is justified.
