I'm not sure who the "W3C crowd" are (it sounds like an arbitrary moniker
designed to encourage "us vs them" thinking) but the only meaningful
investment into creating modules that I know of is starting pretty much now.
You are not familiar with the constant TPAC-refrain of how we need to
modularize HTML? Jeff for one has been saying this a lot and then
everyone claps, goes home, and does nothing about it.
I was under the impression that I hadn't heard that in a very long time,
but it is equally possible that I have somehow acquired a way of just
filtering it out :)
As far as actual modularization of HTML goes, I'd claim
XMLHttpRequest, Fetch, URL, Encoding, DOM, etc. are all examples of
that.
Agreed, in fact I've been using these as proofs of existence. My
thinking is basically that we can use more of the same.
Although DOM and XMLHttpRequest have a two-way dependency with
HTML, effectively making them just another page that happens to be
maintained by someone else.
I don't think that two-way dependencies are an issue. It's actually a
fairly expected feature of systems of any complexity.
