Hi,

DOM specifies a set of API interfaces for processing XML documents. There are also other XML processing APIs. I do not understand what you mean by DOM compliant... Oxygen uses DOM in some parts of its processings and also uses SAX and processor specific APIs.

Oxygen provides a powerful transformation support that includes multiple XSLT transformations and options FO processing. You can generate HTML and/or PDF from XML documents assumming you have the stylesheets for this. Oxygen ships for instance with DocBook stylesheets so you can easily convert DocBook documents to PDF or HTML.
