But then I could not guarantee that the output is exactly the same as the input outside of the specific values being updated.
DOM-tree<-->wiki-syntax is a one-to-many relationship, for example each of the following is a valid wiki-syntax representation of a table row containing 3 cells with the contents A, B, and C:
|-
| A || B || C
|-
| A
| B
| C
<tr>
<td>A</td>
<td>B</td>
<td>C</td>
</tr>
Also, I doubt that writing a full-blown parser and serializer would result in less work and less code than a regex-based solutions supported by linked substrings.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
