I wouldn't restrict the assistive technologies developer in ways to operate the
web content. I'm aware of at least one recent project preferring to work with
DOM over high level a11y API. I'd say if they want to go their own way then we
shouldn't make them out of law.

On the another hand we don't have cross browser web accessibility API so any
a11y web app (like ChromeVox?) has to deal with DOM this or that way.

I agree the spec wording should be updated but direct DOM access shouldn't be
deprecated or denied (we may state though it's not recommended).
