I know this creates an extra dependency, but to me this seems much simpler than maintaining yet another DOM manipulation implementation.

I'd like to see adapters for all kinds of libraries. Most people use 
OpenLayers within a bigger JavaScript application which uses already 
some kind of JavaScript library. So just use the power of those, don't 
try to catch up with reimplementing it.

Though I think OL 3.0 should bundle a fallback adapter which would be 
the code (copy & paste) of a liberal licensed JavaScript library, so 
that people a still able to use OL without the need of any external lib.
