Hi all.
As we all know that, in JSP we have ""include" so that we can include other web page model into current page, which is very beneficial for code reuse and short G2M.

But in html, this capability is very weak.
Although we have iframe, but we can not prevent it can not be included by a higher class html page.In another hand, iframe can not be compared with div on layout, iframe's size can only be designated by outside, but can not fit the inner content layout and size.

What's more, iframe loading in UA  is an new document isolated with parent window, which we be a little strict in some scenario, if we can support div with src attribute, it will be better.

So in summary, can we let html support include tag similar with JSP or extending div element to support "src" attribute, so we can extend html to a more modeling mode in architecture view.

I should probably describe seamless somewhere using the word "inclusion".

Checked in as WHATWG revision r7605.
