It's a shame that the list is in that order (both on the htmx website and in the book). Items 1 and 3 are simply not important, whereas 4 is by far the most important feature that HTMX offers.

Ted Nelson, in his 1980 book “Literary Machines” coined the term transclusion to capture this idea: the inclusion of content into an existing document via a hypermedia reference. If HTML supported this style of “dynamic transclusion,” then Hypermedia-Driven Applications could function much more like a Single Page Application, where only part of the DOM is updated by a given user interaction or network request.
