Me and another fellow both cited Steve Wittens' review of HTML+dom at each other at the same time a couple days ago. It's a lovely document. https://acko.net/blog/html-is-dead-long-live-html/

At the end he talks about html-in-canvas. This was a while ago, but I think the limitation is still there: the input mapping is totally fudged, just really bad DIY mapping. It only really works for fairly trivial uses.

Steve also mentioned a task I'd like to see: project html onto a curved surface.

I'm so so so happy we're getting something. But it feels like there are many many many constrains here, that might not be so apparent at first glance. It would be so nice to really have HTML in space, but this isn't really there.
