There's no valid implication that JavaScript is "not text based". Dom is 
nothing more than the representation of a text markup in an object form 
for easy manipulation by script. The very nature of HTML as a text 
markup language is not changed, blocked or hindered by a scripting 
language that changes the text and markup dynamically.

A tool that cannot cater for an HTML document that changes dynamically 
is neither fully featured, nor modern.
