IMHO JavaScript is a better solution for this. Instead of baking a
custom solution into the engine that solve a single use case, we have a
fast lightweight language that let you solve any use cases you have.
Did any vendor actually respond positively to the whatwg proposal?

Hi,
I submitted a proposal to W3C & WHATWG to enhance HTML to support
single-page apps without using Javascript:
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-whatwg-archive/2015Mar/0071.html
And here’s a document on Github that’s clearer than that email:
https://github.com/mozumder/html6
This proposal somehow went viral:
http://www.infoworld.com/article/2901436/internet/faster-web-page-loading-without-javascript.html
(includes an analyst quote)
http://sdtimes.com/w3c-member-proposes-single-page-apps-without-javascript-in-html6/
(been a top trending story for the last week)
http://blog.smartbear.com/web-development/html6-apis-as-natural-friends/
http://jaxenter.com/html6-proposal-for-single-page-apps-without-javascript-causes-scandal-115919.html
and lots more, in different languages around the world. If you search
“html6” on Twitter, you’ll see. There are hundreds or thousands of
shares, upvotes, comments, etc.
So it looks like a lot of people want something like this to happen. I
believe it represents web developers’ dissatisfaction in having to use
these Javascript frameworks to do something basic that should have been
a part of the HTML spec, that is, dynamic loading of content. I put
this proposal out there as a result of my own frustrations with these
frameworks being constantly redesigned.
I’m checking if there’s any interest from the Webkit team on this? I’m
trying to plan the next steps and probably wouldn’t proceed without at
least some sort of interest or guidance from the browser vendors.
(maybe this is technically impossible, etc..) Next steps would
probably include working on a full spec, and possibly implementation. I
have built WebKit nightly before, but haven’t modified any of its code,
and I suspect something like this would be way beyond me time-wise to
fully implement myself, but if there’s interest, I could possibly figure
out some options.
Anyways do let me know of any interest.
