Ok, I think I understand what you're proposing.  The first approach 
seems cleaner (Not use DOM at all) but I've got this nagging thought 
that not having a DOM would break something important.  I'll think about 
this see if I can figure out what it would break if we did this.

In the meantime, comments from others would be welcome.  This would be a 
fairly significant change.
