Need Object Oriented Programming concept in HTML:
This is needed to simplify and group html code so that each elements can be
fetched easily. 

Type definition:
Option to have a template name like typedef in C, so that long nested tags can
be given a user defined name and used to reduce long codes.

Dynamic Update:
Option to dynamically update a tag contents for which the refresh period can
be given in the same tag.

Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: Proposals for major new features need much more detail than this.  Ideally, they should take the form of lists of use-cases, i.e., real-world problems that web authors face today and that cannot be solved without adding new features.  An idealized and overly elaborate explanation of the procedure for adding significant new features is here:
