Not really sure what problem this is trying to solve. I am more enthused about the potential of Web Components, shadow-dom etc. [1] Take a look at Polymer [2]. By abstracting away the concept of the contrived set of HTML Elements we currently have we can create new 'complex' elements/components while retaining consistency with the rest of the DOM API.

There is also x-tags [1] by Mozilla which uses some polyfills from polymer.

They also have some repositories for ready to use webcomponents like x-registry [2] or brick [3].

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It's also part of HTML now, so it has that going for it as well.
