Have you looked at the DSSSL developers' toolkit from Copernican
Solutions?  It includes a java api (source freely available, I believe)
that gives you complete access to the source grove.  I haven't had time
to look closely at what the W3C DOM committee is doing, but it sure
looks like reinventing the wheel.  Can somebody out there enlighten me
as to why we need DOM when we already have property sets and groves?  It
looks to me like the API designed by Copernican Solutions already does
what DOM wants to do, only in java instead of IDL.
