wasm is an MVP, they fully intend to add DOM support: http://webassembly.org/docs/future-features

Its just that implementing the DOM requires a lot of other (complex) things 1. Stable JS object ABI 2. Integration with the GC garbage collector 3. Better integration with modules

Personally, I'm hoping that we actually get a lower-level subset of the DOM apis that doesn't rely on as many OO features so we can bind to it easier, and avoid more DOM manipulation overhead (though I have no idea what this would look like).




Personally I'd like to see an experimental mode in Quantum/Servo with an RPC interface to render directly to the display list, possibly with an intermediary like a vector of VDOM operations.
