Anyway, my suggested code snippet gives a reasonable default without any further info, right? Or are there DOM libs where the snippet breaks, or misbehaves?

Yes. Not all DOM implementations support JAXP. However, the key point is still that XOM does not have enough information to pick a reasonable default. It is not possible to program to the DOM interfaces alone. DOM programs *must* be written with the knowledge of which implementation is being used.
