The SOAP implementation objects extend the DOOM or LLOM objects.  Thus>
two implementation hierarchies are needed (one for DOOM and one for LLOM).

An alternative approach is to have a single SOAP implementation hierarchy
that
delegates to an OM tree.  Then you would have a single SOAP implementation.
However this has a different set of challenges.  The main challenge is that
you may have
two objects for each element (e.g. A lightweight SOAPEnvelope object that
delegates to an OMElement).

If you took this approach, I also suggest splitting out the SAAJ code and
using a similar approach.).
SAAJ objects extend (versus delegate) to LLOM objects.
Is there any benefit to moving the SAAJ model to Axiom.  The only downside
is that Axis2 would still need
to implement SOAPConnection...but the rest of the code is basically
modelling code.
