I think creating nodes in javascript is a nogo, keep your html in your templates and just read the templates from js and there you can refer to nodes to do whatever you want in js. But as always there are exceptions to the rule, and then this lib may come in handy.

Why is it a "no go"?

  Basically html = view, javascript = logic. Following from separation-of-concerns, you want to decouple the two.

    You can still separate your view and logic in pure Javascript, too.

I've got a browser based notepad using local storage as the key:value store. I needed a way to 'open notes' and in turn create various tabs, etc. HTML wasn't an option in something so dynamic. I guess all I'm saying is, there are use-cases where it's fine

  Yeah indeed. Another option would be to use something like mustache and precomile your templates to javascript functions which you could use.
