What do you mean by "decompose the DM"?

Right now, DMs wrap up
 - Domain Topology
 - Domain Geometry
 - Modeling approximation (like function spaces, projectors)
 - Modeling equations (including decompositions, variable substitutions)

and I may have forgotten some stuff. That is a huge amount of crap for one object.
