Mmm, weighty question. Short answer is yes. It's similar in that a
DOM-like interface could indeed be used to manipulate this "intermediary
document."
I found the phrasing of the question revealing. The DOM is an interface
to a document, not the document itself, which makes this question somewhat
of an apple-orange comparison. However, from a design standpoint, it's
probably more valuable to think about the "intermediary document" as an
interface and perhaps a document interchange format, rather than as an
actual document, which is a point I think Ken was trying to make earlier.
