While we are on the subject of discussing HTML syntax....
How about following (wild) idea?
To allow following notation (borrowed from CSS selectors):
<p.myclass>...</p> is equivalent of
<p class="myclass">...</p>
<p#myid>...</p> is equivalent of
<p id="myid">...</p>
<p.myclass1.myclass2>...</p> is equivalent of
<p class="myclass1 myclass2">...</p>
<p#myid.myclass1.myclass2>...</p> is equivalent of
<p id="myid" class="myclass1 myclass2">...</p>
It is syntax sugar of course but at least it will reduce amount of data
needs to be sent over the wire.
