Discussion: Should we allow a “Node” as content.

[theengineear]

Current

const container = document.createElement('div');
const input = document.createElement('input');
render(container, html`${input}`);
// <div>[object HTMLInputElement]</div>

We could handle Nodes in a special manner where we just bind the live value directly as content. We would also want to consider whether a Node would be allowed as a value of an array.

Pros

• Just let me do the thing!

Cons

• Added complexity / surface area to maintain.
• Could invite bad practices.
• Typically easy to work around (create a template or use observe).
