I think the general concept is spot on. Some of these features are sorely overdue for HTML.
However, looking at some of the more complex features it starts to feel like they are not all suited to HTML, but seem more fitting to CSS. Perhaps, even, we need something akin to CSS but dedicated to coordinating events and requests? I’m not sure. I get the feeling Htmx is a big step in right direction, but I don’t think we’re quite “there” yet.
I also think JSON has its place (b/c it’s pure data), and wouldn’t be too quick to completely chuck it out in favor of an all HTML replacement (data with markup).
