It's also the case that every feature in web standards means extra code that needs to be painstakingly maintained, and extra code that anyone trying to create a standards-compliant browser must implement. I want to see projects like https://servo.org/ actually have a chance to catch up over time, not always be chasing an expanding scope.

I want the web platform to have every possible capability that native platforms have (subject to privacy and sandboxing constraints, of course). And I want the developer experience of web developers to be incredible.

But these need to be balanced against the consequences of added complexity. And in this case, does native templating really improve developer experience? I'm not convinced the benefits outweigh the costs.
