What I want is the wicket model, essentially a stricter version of Angular's HTML attribute data binding, where virtually the only thing you can do is <tag myframework:id="someid">, and you can connect to "someid" in code - but only as a literal, and the only thing you can do is replace that tag with a component, nothing more complex. All the current approaches are too liberal, too "there is more than one way to do it". I want to have one, and only one, simple rule for how data goes into HTML.
