There's no command line option because it only makes sense to use a model
other than Saxon's native model when you've got a Java application using
that model already.

To run XSLT against a XOM source, do:

    nu.xom.Builder builder = new nu.xom.Builder();
    nu.xom.Document doc = builder.build(new FileInputStream(xml));
    source = new net.sf.saxon.xom.DocumentWrapper(doc, xml,
 
((TransformerFactoryImpl)factory).getConfiguration());

and "source" can then be supplied to the JAXP transform() method.

To run XQuery against a XOM source, you can use the same technique, or look
at the nux interface developed by Wolgang Hoschek.
