Flash and Java applets do have access to the DOM.

Interesting, didn't know that. I think some of the bad perception of Java/Flash pages is because most of them didn't access the DOM, they just dumped their own graphics on the page (AFAIK, you could even use AWT/Swing in applets).

Yes they do, but ExternalInterface and Common DOM suck. Pepper has a more direct-binding feel.
