Late last year and early this year, there were threads on the WHATWG list about changing the HTML parser to handle templates.
Work on this is ongoing, but has been mainly led by Rafael and Tony: http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcomponents/raw-file/tip/spec/templates/index.html It's currently being discussed in the public-webapps list: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2012OctDec/thread.html#msg312 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2012OctDec/thread.html#msg294 My plan is to not work on this myself in the near term, and to adopt for the HTML spec whatever parser changes end up getting implemented by multiple browsers (or that multiple browsers say they plan to implement, depending on when I next get to this particular topic) based on the work of Rafael and Tony above. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
