Have you considered going the react way? What I mean is that the react core library does not assume an html target but rather builds a virtual component tree that can be mapped to various semantics (the two I know of are react-dom that produces a DOM and react native that produces whatever is used in mobile UIs) You could sorta recycle the idea or maybe check if React with SVG might be enough for a (low frame rate) prototype. It does indeed sound like a very infectious obsession, I hope I can forget about the idea :-)
