7 years ago the request to add <body> was blocked [1] <body> <include src = "header.html"/> <content>HTML5 body includes are unreadable</content> </body> The reason was that parser has to block while the document is loading. Is that still actual for 2015? >From the user experience standpoint I find the barrier for structuring HTML5 pages too high for newcomers. The simple include could greatly help people to work with HTML5 more easily and learn how to make their markup more readable. Custom elements are awesome when you're a coder, but no so awesome when you're just a journalist of designer. Even as experienced non-JS coder I find the current syntax for includes mystic and daunting [2]. The paradox is that for HTML5 includes it is not possible to know about HTML alone - need a good knowledge of CSS selectors, DOM and JavaScript to read the website. 1. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6875404/why-does-html5-not-include-a-way-of-loading-local-html-into-the-document 2. http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/webcomponents/imports/#usingcontent Please, CC. -- anatoly t.
