Can the metadata feature be used to ergonomically emulate HTML attributes? It's not clear from the docs, and the spec doesn't seem to document the feature at all.

I'm not sure how the metadata syntax works, but you might not need it because you can do this:

  (html
    (head
      (title "Hello!"))
    (body
      (div
        (p
          "This is an example of a hyperlink: "
          (a "Example" :href "https://example.org/")))))

I think you can use metadata to model html attributes but in clojure people are using plain vector for that. https://github.com/weavejester/hiccup

tl;dr first element of the vector is a tag, second is a map of attributes test are children nodes:

[:h1 {:font-size "2em" :font-weight bold} "General Kenobi, you are a bold one"]
