The value of srcdoc ends up as an attribute value in the DOM, doesn't it?

This is similar to using <script type=something/new></script> for
templates that are just text nodes from the DOM POV.

For iframes, it wouldn't be more crazy to feed the child text node to
another parser than it is to feed an attribute value to another
parser. With two-level parsing, it would be even an advantage that
iframe is special in its content handling. As for avoiding two-level
parsing and instead of making the first parser directly generate the
child document without leaving the source as a text node inside the
iframe would a similar sort of change as wormhole templates.
For templates, there seems to be a desire to avoid the sort of
two-level parsing srcdoc uses.

It's not clear to me what you mean.
