- rendering static documents is distinct from interactive dynamic ones
- forms are static documents

@hipsterelectron @vtrlx wdym HTML is only available is the js dom? You can parse it without JavaScript too.
@hipsterelectron I don't *like* Markdown but I do use it. I think XHTML was the unfortunate victim of a lot of timing issues and maybe if it was used as the target language for compilation it'd probably be solid. I think good candidates should natively support UTF-8, IMO I would go so far as to state that they should be designed such that UTF-8 is the only valid encoding for documents by virtue of being Good Enough and not locking out any language. Your opinion may differ though.
