The DOM draft [1] seems to include it. Legacy content is better slow than unusable, however, so it’s better off being discouraged – by linters, dev docs and a warning in the console. FWIW, this is currently linted in TSlint but not JSlint. It would be nice to have this (via regular or template strings) compile to DOM objects, wrapped with a couple of pointers indicating where strings or elements are placed. I guess for now the best course would be to budge that into transpilation, raising an error if it does anything kooky like work at the boundaries of elements. (.innerHTML setting is sugar for a HTML parser being initialised on the element, so such a transpiler wouldn’t be removing functionality per se) [1] https://w3c.github.io/DOM-Parsing/#dom-innerhtml-innerhtml https://w3c.github.io/DOM-Parsing/#dom-innerhtml-innerhtml
