How to interact with DOM without Javascript?

How can I interact with DOM in either CEF or Awesomium without using Javascript? Why do we have to use Javascript just to interact with DOM?

CEF

While CEF allows access to the DOM via it's CefDOMVisitor, CefDOMDocument, CefDOMNode, CefDOMEvent and CefDOMEventListener declared in cef_dom.h, chief contributor Marshall Greenblatt confirms here that it is meant for read only access:

The DOM API exposed by Chromium is read-only with the exception of adding listeners. CEF exposes this same API via the CefFrame::VisitDOM method. If you want to manipulate the DOM directly via C++ it will be necessary to use WebKit interfaces directly.

So, if you'd like full access similar to IHtmlElement, you might have to use Webkit directly...
