Substituting JavaScript with HTML

It seems as if the author is on the way to rediscovering the idea of Unobtrusive JavaScript, aka the RSJS pattern (Reasonable System for JavaScript):

The main difference is that Unobtrusive JavaScript relies on HTML5 data attributes rather than misusing CSS classes.

Perhaps the most well-known example of the Unobtrusive JavaScript approach are the AJAX helpers of Rails:

The article mentions Unobtrusive JavaScript toward the end:

"With the addition of classes I can enjoy all the custom CSS Bootstrap provides for the most part of what we need as far as styling goes . Why can’t we have same for JS ? It turns out we actually do and such libraries are known as UnObstrusive JS libs."
