Any move of the pendulum in this direction is a-ok by me. But to be clear, I am glad it’s a pendulum … meaning that there’ll always be a place for script (the bleeding edge), but we need to consolidate common practice periodically. This also gives us the opportunity to support the functionality natively in the browser.

Big +1.
I’m glad to see Dave Johnson’s post; writing up how I got to hinclude has been on my todo list for a while, and now I don’t have to do it. :)

Hogwash indeed.
