Hi Michael,
thanks for commenting on this.

I agree on the IPC issue. However, with a tighter integration it makes
sense to have a DOM document that is shared among several components. At
least, when I read "compound documents" I think of a document which has
a centralized, accessible representation, and then several components
which are responsible for fragments of it.

It's not that "I want to" ;-) just I don't see reasonable alternatives
to this unless making sure the component runs in the same address space
as the container. Is this the case when the component is in a shared lib
and it is instantiated with a factory that has location="shlib"?
