Hackers Were Inside Citrix for Five Months

Yes. Style with inline tags, you're generating your HTML anyway. Use tag names describe what they do rather than "semantic" tags that aren't. Rather than agonising over which polyfills you need to get flexbox support, do table-based layouts that render reliably and quickly in any browser. People went crazy for the <video> tag in HTML5, but <embed> achieves the same result and a nicer UX to boot. What's not to like?

Let's just go ahead and just render each page as one big imagemap

Just the opposite. Imagemaps suck because the user can't resize their browser and have the page reflow appropriately. Too many modern styled websites view that as desirable feature.

More likely is we get one <canvas> tag and everything is powered by an opaque blob of WebAssembly
