I don't think they need to think of DOM as a special case, just a different case or representation of information being rendered. Your demonstrations of the intergration of HTML into a wide variety of applications at the F2F meetings would indicate that the is a place for a content model like DOM. As XML is developed the DOM model will probably become even more important.
