Element isn't really meant to provide tools to modify the buffer. It is
only a parser, i.e. buffer to parse tree transformation.

The reciprocal, i.e., modifying a parse tree in order to alter the
buffer may belong to another library. IIRC, this is the goal of
"org-sync" (from GSOC 2012). You may want to look into it.
