Well, this is precisely the reason why we designed the components the way we
did. I don't know much about the DomAPI stuff, but if you can get your
template as a DOM object, and then identify that its specifically a DomAPI
type of DOM, the components could very easily load a custom set of renderers
and away you go. Then it'd just be a matter of writing the renderers...it'd
take some time to identify/work out any kinks, but probably not more than a
couple of weeks (and possibly much faster).

If you are interested in trying something like this, I'd be happy to offer
pointers on the component rendering stuff.
