the web platform is making slow and not-so-steady progress as a hypermedia system, but things do seem to be picking up a bit

we are working on a proposal to bring more general transclusion and a few other things here:

This is a weirdly unpopular opinion here when it comes to HTML & JS, but there's a time and place for everything. This is a neat small example, but hardly worth the effort of changing something that was already working fine.

With the change, I now need another roundtrip network request to get new sizes of the same content on the current page that would have been able to be done in just a couple hundred bytes of JavaScript.

Edit: also there is still no view-transition support on Firefox.
