This is a neat approach, which I could use myself in a separate problem.
One issue though: how do I get, say, T to be 0 on domain A, when it is
non-zero at nodes on the A-B boundary? Do you have any examples?
I may have some time to investigate a patch to the DofMap code at some
point, and if the above approach works (to demonstrate a base case
solution) will start looking into it in the next couple of weeks...
