I get the feeling you're reading this too literally. I think eyelidlessness is talking about using a technique that is analogous or similar to that of a virtual DOM. Nobody is talking about an actual DOM.

That was my intention yes.
That's wrong. virtual DOM is always a parallel structure to real DOM - projection of it. That's by definition of it.
