As for some of the DOM nodes, you might want to look at the 
EMFDOMAdaptor, which I think will get you in the direction you want to 
go, as it keeps an EMF Model and DOM model in synch, so that changes to 
one get propopogated into the other.   Might be able to do something 
similar in your situation, or at least it might give you some ideas.

mistaken.
