One other note (which I'm sure people have considered already).  Any "includes" 
syntax that uses information about a node's location in the DOM (that is, 
something other than the tag name and attributes of the node being included) 
pretty much requires complete traversal of all the descendants of the bound 
element and reconstruction of the "includes" parts of the shadow tree any time 
a DOM mutation happens...
