That's correct, Tidy does not expose such functionality. Also note that
the read functionality is not complete, you cannot access the content of
text nodes, for example.

Well, Tidy is not really designed to enable this, so you would need some
hacks to make Tidy expose this in a good manner. It seems the current
developers are neither very interested in this and not committed to
maintaining such functionality. It should be possible, but you are
generally better off with simply converting Tidy's internal DOM to some
other DOM structure.
