True, though I see it as possibly analogous to Pollen's relationship to HTML — 
when you're working with boilerplate structures (e.g., <p> and <br>) you can 
let Pollen take care of them. 

But when you want to insert literal chunks of markup because of their 
specialness or complexity, you can do that too.

OTOH, you're right that finding a productive level of abstraction to aim for in 
the software is an open question (and one I don't feel qualified to answer).
