Sure, but how cool would it be if OOjs UI were expressible as WebComponent-ish things…
I have been considering the WebComponent approach since before we decided OOjs UI to be our go to UI library, but it obviously isn't ready to be our main UI technology. Iteratively adding a WebComponent layer to OOjs UI shouldn't be hard but I have mixed feelings about it [1]: * Lack of support [2]. We'll still need parser tags to consistently support these tags. * Maintainability. * Choice of polyfill and/or library, brick/polymer.
It does solve the UI prototyping problem, but I wonder if its worth the effort.
