This feels like a good development! I hope devs actually do opt to relinquish "pixel-perfect" control (as this post & numerous other projects cite) for "text/html" intercompatibility; it's unknown atm. Im not really conviced projects even have to give up that much control/exactness to have a html/dom render target... it's heartening to hear at least one native world framework even bother to try & fit in, especially given how low it feels the lift should be. Good report! Thanks! But it does still seem contrary to the spirit of this post; Im glad to hear there's better/more respectfully positioned attempt, very glad, but the danger still seems ultra-real.

For most of the similar frameworks exploring making the web a target, there is zero interest or care in "text/html". Flutter, Qt, Uno: they come bearing no gifts, no respect, simply seeing the web's very lowest levels as an efficiently accessible delivery target they can exploit, & they have zero compunctions about ignoring the 99.9999% of the web stack that all other sites use in favor of the low level graphical interfaces.
