> There's no fundamental templating knowledge that's portable between stacks, and native DOM creation APIs like innerHTML are unsafe by default.

setHTML() is already implemented in Chrome/Edge and Firefox so this point is a bit outdated - there is a safe alternative to innerHTML.

MDN and caniuse say otherwise. I think there might've been an older specification that got implemented, but it's been revised since

Chrome implemented a prototype, then the spec changed and they removed it, then they implemented the new version. I should have been clearer and said Chrome Canary and Firefox Nightly. Not sure when it will reach stable but probably some point this year, they’ve been working on it for ages and Safari is onboard.
