Looking forward to it. I also see this as potential syntax that could be translated into html.

  Yes exactly. My approach was to make everything a component. In each component, you'd define your props (called "variants" in my language), elements, and styles. Something like this: component Square variants color bg: red elements shape square style square width: 100px height: 100px fill: $bg

    Sounds like QML but without brackets: https://www.qt.io/product/qt6/qml-book/ch04-qmlstart-qml-syntax https://www.qt.io/product/qt6/qml-book/ch04-qmlstart-qml-syn...

Agreed. With a few tweaks, and adding a define & use (simple class prototyping), it's basically VRML-97. Before the X3D goons ganked it with all their XML and XSchema nonsense.
