Right now, DMs wrap up
- Domain Topology
These are nowhere in the DM interface.
- Modeling approximation (like function spaces, projectors)
This is only in the DM interface through coarsening and interpolation.
- Modeling equations (including decompositions, variable substitutions)
This is only in the DM interface with collective semantics. (For nonlinear ASM, I would be in favor of getting a subdomain DM which would have collective semantics on the subcommunicator instead of putting "local" evaluation into the public interface.)
and I may have forgotten some stuff. That is a huge amount of crap for one object.
You seem to be confusing the DM interface from a particular way of packing data into an implementation of DM.
