If I understand you right with "DOM tree", do you mean something like 
e.g. a ul-list:

<ul>
<li>pos 1</li>
<li>pos 2</li>
</ul>

this is possible:
assuming you have the following html displayed:
<html>
	<head>
		<title>test</title>
	</head>
	<body>
		<h1>Test-page</h1>
		<div id="content">
		</div>
	</body>
	</html>

In an ext you can do the following:
<code>
$arr = array('pos 1', 'pos 2');
$objResponse = new tx_xajax_response();
$objResponse->addCreate('content', 'ul', 'list');
foreach ($arr as $iKey => $sValue) {
	$objResponse->addCreate('list, 'li', 'list_' . $iKey);
	$objResponse->addAppend('list_' . $iKey, 'innerHTML', $sValue);
}
$objResponse->getXML();
</code>

If this was not what you mean, just ignore this post.
