Hola, We've recently started to clear time to think about declarative partial document updates (including some concepts overlapping the juicy topic of "HTML includes"). There has been lots of initial internal thinking about this that I now feel a bit more ready to share. I've put it out as a WICG proposal https://github.com/WICG/proposals/issues/216 with a detailed explainer. PTAL if you want! zcorpan ntim I know these are areas you've shown interest in in the past :)

  • The details of the proposal are not set in stone but I've put them out there to ground the discussion.

jarhar: I'm not really sure how to untangle the conformance questions for <select> and <datalist>. Maybe we should merge with those as a follow-up? Would like to know what Domenic thinks about that. It seems the existing text is a bit messy on this front, but this isn't making it any better either.

im happy to work on that as a followup

Okay, let's see what Domenic says.

I always forget the answer to this. When HTML says to do something when an attribute has "changed", does that count setting an attribute to its current value, or does the value itself have to be "changed" to count? I suspect the latter, but MutationObserver counts the former so I just want to double check.

I'm not seeing any equality checks in https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#handle-attribute-changes so probably the former?

Yeah that's the conclusion I'm coming to as well
