OM is a Map. IMs are like maps but have both construction and runtime configurations and also interpret the "key" in much more sofisticated ways than maps normally do.
WDYT?

Wow. Cocoon already has an ObjectModel Map which is used all over the place. If you want to integrate FOM with the rest of Cocoon maybe that's the place to start.
I have a feeling your definition of OM and the existing ObjectModel could be integrated together, but perhaps not without some amount of pain.
Although I like the ease of using a simple Map, it does have some drawbacks in the fact that you can't really "trust" that the objects returned are actually of the correct type (i.e. - you really should do an instanceof to verify it). I also like that one can always locate the current object model via ContextMap.getCurrentContext.get("objectModel") from anywhere.
