That was my initial thought. Also you can basically declare any custom tags ( with dash in the name [1] ). Which with some good javascript could accomplish easily ( and I would say in more clean way ) what it's being offered by the OP. If he likes this kind of writing his AJAX implementation he can easily do so by doing his own framework. I think HTML5 is doing pretty, pretty good and it's underestimated in what it can be achieved.
