You're better off in nearly all cases simply firing a >stream of XML at whoever needs it. You are suggesting using the DOM to model your distributed objects. This is a bad idea. You are correct in your conclusion that this is a bad use of granularity, though I've never tested this out myself because it is evident by a quick analysis of round trips. What I had suggested was to use XML to marshal objects by value (MBV) which specifically gets around the network roundtrip killer. Furthermore I am suggesting that by enabling use of web native protocols under currently available distributed object systems we can move toward a better integration of distributed objects and the web.
