Okay, that sounds reasonable, subclassing is fine. My main worry is that DOM is already considered complex, and has a lot of different extensions. The only thing more or less clear to users is that it is an API to process parsed markup languages, and it's probably better to avoid using the "DOM" name for anything which is not strongly tied to markup.
