ECMAScript refers to standard ECMA-262 released in June 1997
ECMAScript is essentially JavaScript with all client and server-side features removed i.e. It is the language and not the browser AWT handler
The emerging HTML and XML Document Object Models (DOMs) will be bound initially to ECMAScript
So one can use ECMAScript in several different domains (HTML XML VRML ...) by adding support for appropriate domain specific objects
