I think this should be merged into the Web API article, specifically the client side section. The term BOM is no longer used anywhere and has never been used officially and Mozilla's documentation lists these objects as Web APIs nowaday. — Updatepedia (talk) 12:27, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

- Keep. Web APIs are a distinct topic. Mozilla does have a project called 'WebAPI' which is a confusingly named API for replacing native applications on mobile devices with HTML5 based versions. This is also not the same as the Browser Object Model discussed by this article. Despite the claim in the nomination that the term is 'no longer used anywhere', lots of relevant hits turned up on Google Scholar, including some very recent ones. I've added some of these as citations to the article. - MrOllie (talk) 12:46, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
