I forgot to mention an important fact: DOM can operate on the document even without loading it into the application, you don't need the document core implementation for it. So basically you can write macros that run inside the application or outside, e.g. on a server. It needs a lot of organizing and customization to make the OOo DOM implementation work in this mode, but it's possible IMHO (somebody in the know might correct me if I'm wrong).
