Good for you.

There's a work-around for that:
property SITE_URL : "http://www.google.com";
tell application "Safari"
-- LOAD URL
set myDoc to (make new document with properties {URL:SITE_URL})
-- WAIT FOR LOADING COMPLETE
delay 1
repeat while (do JavaScript "document.readyState" in document 1) is not "complete"
delay 0.5
end repeat
end tell

You can access anything in the DOM that Javascript can get to in Safari, so Apple is unlikely improve that aspect of its dictionary.

Fake is very interesting, under active development, and rather like automator in concept. The developer Todd Ditchendorf seems to be a good guy and is responsive to feedback on the Fake list. I've been watching it progress for about a year now.
I was going to wait for Fake to hit version 2.0 before I spent the $30.00, but I'll probably plunk down the bucks pretty soon. (It's at v1.8 now.)
