		gugagore 3 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Why can't HTML alone do includes? I think the quickest way to say it is that there is only one head on a page, and every HTML file needs a head. So if you include one into the other, you either have two heads, or the inner document didn't have a head.

They can just be html chunks. No need to make sense on their own.

Maybe a single tag that points at an url to load if someone attempts to load the chunk directly.
