The programs that want to supply standard interfaces should not supply
org.w3c.dom.html.HTMLDOMImplementation.java since this is not standard
interface for HTML DOM Level 1 [1]. For same reason xml-apis.jar can't
ship HTMLDOMImplementation.

This interface is included in HTML DOM L2 [2], which is backwards
incompatible with the HTML DOM L1. 
The HTML DOM L2 interfaces are distributed in org.w3c.dom.html2 package.
So if you claim to support HTML DOM L2, you should include
HTMLDOMImplementation class into org.w3c.dom.html2 package.

We don't have yet any plans to implement DOM HTML L2. However, code
contributions from external users are always welcome :).
