Having never created a generator, I can't comment on that, but it sounds
like a good idea. Can anyone estimate how much effort this requires?
Another way might be call the java lib from flowscript, creating a DOM.
Then pass the DOM to a JXTemplate (along with any other DOMs you want to
'merge' with). The flowscript would look as follows:
var reportDom = Way.To.Create.Dom.From.Some.Java.Lib();
var otherDom = Way.To.Load.Your.Other.Dom();
cocoon.sendPage("merge-jxpipe", {"reportDom" : reportDom, "otherDom":
otherDom } );
The JXTemplate could be as simple as the following:
<to-merge>
<report>
#{reportDom/*}
</report>
<other>
#{otherDom/*}
</other>
</to-merge>
Then you could use XSLT to do the merge.

Actions should not return XML. Why not write a generator instead?
