This is fair, but note that my suggestions are all
backwards-comparible-ish, rendering as plain text when Web Components
are not supported / have no JS.
Still, the point taken!

XSLT is being phased out by Chrome, unfortunately. But yeah, this would
be a nice option otherwise. I mean, XSLT can even select and transform
arbitrary text, which is like a superpower for otherwise
no-text-selectable static HTML!
I think that sticking to plain 3.2+ HTML is the best option for
now. Thanks y’all for convincing me!
Best of love,
