I realized that what I actually want is XML literals. I really don't care about non-XML HTML so I just use the System.Xml.Linq parser. I just started implementing it here: https://github.com/mausch/XmlLiteralsTypeProvider
After implementing holes for elements/attributes, it would be very interesting to be able to read templates from a file. That way, you'd keep templates in a file, which anyone could edit outside of a development environment but any changes to its holes would affect compilation as it should.
