Aren't you then trying to bridge an immediate mode API (rendering controls) and a retained mode API (assistive tech).

Yes. This has influenced the design of my AccessKit [1] project. With AccessKit, the application (or GUI toolkit) pushes tree updates to the platform adapter, which maintains a complete tree that it uses to implement the platform-specific accessibility API. Each application-supplied tree update can be a full tree or just the nodes that have changed. So an immediate-mode GUI can push a full tree every frame. There just has to be some way of keeping node IDs stable across frames.
