Re: [webcomponents] [imports] <import src='header.html'/> in <body> (#280)

Just adding that the expectation is a quite reasonable one. Quoting [this article](http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/webcomponents/imports/):

> Think about how you load different types of resources on the web. For JS, we have `<script src>`. For CSS, your go-to is probably `<link rel="stylesheet">`. For images it's `<img>`. Video has `<video>`. Audio, `<audio>`.... Get to the point! The majority of the web's content has a simple and *declarative* way to load itself. Not so for HTML. (...) See the irony? **The web's most basic content, HTML, requires the greatest amount of effort to work with.**

For now the closest we can get to that is [seamless iframes](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#attr-iframe-seamless), but the `seamless` attribute still needs to be emulated using CSS until it becomes [supported by the browsers](http://caniuse.com/#feat=iframe-seamless).
