If you mean the w3c DOM, then you might use Mozilla's DOM .idl files, 
which contain XPIDL (http://www.mozilla.org/scriptable/).  You could go 
further, and use XPCOM, XPConnect, and SpiderMonkey to glue your DOM 
objects and JS together.

But if you say the DOM schema will change, do you mean the DOM APIs 
expressed in IDL?  Or just particular document instances?
