Re: [w3c/webcomponents] HTML Modules (#645)

I like the idea of importing non-JavaScript resources. Thankfully we require a MIME type for JavaScript modules so we shouldn't have trouble distinguishing the resources. I do think we probably want to define something around this as that would allow the browser to optimize parsing of these resources. If that was all delegated to a library you'd lose some of the benefits.

I think the other point @rniwa made is also a good one and was unfortunately somewhat hastily dismissed. That being able to write templates inside your JavaScript is something that keeps coming up and would be really good to have a good solution for, that also avoids common XSS pitfalls and such. https://github.com/whatwg/dom/issues/150 discusses that in some more detail.
