No, a DOM that is provided by a WASM instance will provide access to markup contents available to that WASM instance, such as markup requested or shipping with the WASM code, but not outside the WASM instance such as the containing page.

Interesting. What's the intended use case for that?

Trying to think of something, but nothing is coming to mind.

If your WASM application makes use of any kind of XML or HTML content you need to parse it or it’s just a string.
