(Also, at this point I think most search engines are still treating HTML as annotated text, though I hear rumors of DOM-building.)

I had heard they were doing at least some rendering in order to deal with the problem of invisible text spam (text rendered in white or tiny fonts or using some other trick to make it invisible to readers, and intended primarily to deceive the search engine). Maybe that doesn't require a DOM, but at the very least it requires knowing how to apply CSS to the elements, and when you let Javascript in the mix, you pretty well have to create a DOM to operate on.
