This. I feel wrong having endpoints that produce bits of HTML.

Yes. It is OK for simple form submits but going to get annoying for anything that feels like an app.

There's a reason xpath and xls look they way they do - they're powerful, but not very comfortable :/

Reimplantations tend to simply some bits, but end up amassing complexities in various corners...

"Bits of HTML" was for a long time so common and normal it has its own term: HTML fragments.

Not sure if satire, or serious. Well done, well done.

People today don't remember that assigning to innerHTML isn't a good idea, so anything goes.
