To be crystal clear, this is an idea, not a proposal.

The motivation is solving the custom element upgrade step through JavaScript, while also allowing other syntaxes to be mixed with HTML if so desired. The macro element generates a sequence of tokens that can be processed by JavaScript.

document.getMacro().then(function(macro) {
  // This should probably be asynchronous so large macros can be done incrementally
  for(let token of macro.tokens) {
    // Let's build a tree, or reparse tokens Markdown-style...
    ...
  }
}

<macro>
  <hi> <b> ... </b> </hi>
</macro>
