generally speaking, i am asking about binding the functionality to 
markup as well, not just to an API. this is what XInclude has been doing 
for the XML world:

https://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude/

for HTML, you very likely don't want the exact same syntax, but 
something similar. something like

<include href="..." mode="html"/>

for including an external snippet of HTML.

<include href="..." mode="text"/>

could be used to include a file as plain text (i.e., as a text node).

and finally, fallback behavior could look like this:

<include href="...>
   <p>it seems like the include failed...</p>
</include>

none of this probably is exactly what the markup really should look 
like, but that's the general idea behind this issue.
