I have chatted to Schimmi also about this today, and all in all it 
seems a watertight idea. It seems it has its good and bad points:

  Good:

  - Lets us put unknown DOM objects (such as PHP, JavaScript etc) into 
a tree without a huge workaround.
  - May make Kafka clearer to code.

  Bad:
  - Could possibly slow Kafka down due to the extra level of processing.

When I last spoke to Schimmi he told me he was going to speak it over 
with Lars Knoll. There *may* be an opportunity to put some of this 
functionality into KHTML which would certainly make WYSIWYG web editing 
functionality much more accessable to other programs.

Schimmi, could you post to the list a response to what Lars has said.

Schimmi said to me he should be able to post a detailed description of 
his idea to the list around Friday. I look forward to reading his 
words. :-)
