Yeah if the technology was in the browser that would possible.

From what I understand, the core idea is that changes are applied to the virtual DOM in a very simple way (from the application point of view). Then there is another piece of code that knows how to efficiently find the diff between the vDOM and DOM and apply the changes. It seems that last part could be done by the browser.




The additional layer of redirection, at least conceptually enables the use of application specific, or pluggable, vDOMs and/or diffing strategies.
