Jim, JAXM unfortunately can't expose DOM4J in the API. If DOM4J or something like that were to become a JCP standard then there wouldn't be a problem but until then even if we use the excellent DOM4J API and implementation to implement JAXM we can't expose it directly to the JAXM user.
Nice message/WSDL on GET is a good idea. I will think some more about it and see what we can do...
