AMP is just HTML.

  But it's not, really. It's HTML + a mandatory web components polyfill and standard library loaded from a remote origin. If I just rendered the HTML, I wouldn't see any images or videos, because they're hidden behind custom <amp-img> and <amp-video> tags. I guess the upside is that I also wouldn't see content in the <amp-ad> or <amp-pixel> elements. I wouldn't disagree with AMP being "just web technologies," but it's sure as hell not "just HTML."

    OK "just web technologies". I stopped seeing HTML as just the markup language, but I'm fine with people liking that distinction!

  Well, if it was... why would you re-invent it under a new name? HTML already exists and is pretty great!

    AMP is two things: Technology and a strategy to adoption. The latter was missing so far or load times wouldn't have been as bad as they were.
