Bill, There is actually already a proposal for this stuff, called Model Driven Views. It's originally from 2011, but never seemed to gain much traction for some reason. However, the Web Components framework, Polymer, attempts to rematerialize the tech. I don't quite like the way this version of MDV does everything, because I agree with you. A simple declarative statement like <template model="/users/Brian.json"> would be a nice, clean option to have. The other attributes that Polymer includes are interesting, but probably need to be altered to mesh better with HTML.
