You can use any XML Parser (I think so, but I've testet only IBM and
Xerces ;-), but the ozone xml persistency layer doesn't plug into the
xml parser directly. There are two helper classes to proceed DOM nodes
or SAX events and create the persistent counterpart.
1. DOM Parser -> Mem DOM -> DOMConverterImpl.class -> PDOM
2. SAX Parser -> SAX Events -> SAX2DOMConverterImpl.class -> PDOM

It depends on you application code. If you merge two persistent
DOM trees this would affect your database content. To avoid this
you can use the DOMConverterImpl.class to (re)create an in-memory
DOM tree of your persistent data and merge these copies.
But in general you can use any xml parser with any nonstandard api
call.
