20030121
we have 2 classes for handling modifiers (or flags if you wish)
Flags, and Modifier
they both contain the same methods  but it's not clear if they are compatible

so when NamingConventions.suggestGetter name has a parameter 'modifiers' 
i'm not sure what to feed it with

Both are equivalent. The DOM one is actually a duplicate.

Both are implemented in term of the spec values (from the VM spec book), thus 
whichever constant you use should not make a difference.

I agree though it is confusing.

DOM Modifiers should redirect to Flags.

Added clarifying comments to Flags, Modifiers, and NamingConventions.
