How did you come across it? I note that in addition to the usage of script, the document mentions the possibility of using <applet> to hide some XML. Now, I wonder if that could be adapted today. Applet is dead, but naturally browsers still support it (to a point). Could we make it so that <applet> could expose a shadow tree or a Context2D and thereby make it possible for XML to be rendered to it (through scripting)? It's a semantic improvement above inserting an element right after the script to perform the same. Just a crack-fueled idea for your consideration. Amongst other gems, I also love this one: "A proposal for a "sprinkles" mechanism is the subject of a Working Draft in progress." I wish that WD had actually seen the light of day :) -- Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/
