I don't have an opinion really ;)
I would implement it slightly differently though. ie Create a new interface
like
interface DOMFactory
{
DOMImplementation getImplementation();
}
because that simplifies the interface and allows people who know about
DOMImplementation outside of phoenix will work the same as inside.

I don't think they should put about 90% of the stuff in there that they do.
However they do realize that by removing choice from users they get more
power over how "standards" evolve. Jdk 1.4 includes several such "solutions"
- watch for more in the future for 1.5/tiger release ;(. It gets even worse
if you look at J2EE releases. It would not be too hard to see something like
struts + parts of taglib included in the j2ee.jar.
Combining this with poor implementation of extension mechanisms and some
cycnical people would say that it is a cunning strategy for certain aims ;)
