The proposal would work like this:

--- Master Document ---
<html>
    <head>
       <title>Include Example</title>
       <meta name="includes" content="allow">
       <include src="global_head.ihtml">
    </head>
    <body>
          <include src="header.ihtml">
          <include src="http://www.pagelets.com/foo.ihtml">
          <include src="footer.ihtml">
    </body>
</html>

--- Header.html ---
<div id="header">
    <h1>Header</h1>
</div>
