we generalize HTML's hypermedia controls in the following way:

- any HTML element can become a hypermedia control

- any event can drive a hypermedia interaction

- any element can be the target of a hypermedia interaction (transclusion, a concept in hypermedia not implemented by HTML)

all server interactions are done in terms of hypermedia, just like w/links and forms

it also makes PUT, PATCH and DELETE available, which allows HTML to take advantage of the full range of HTTP actions

htmx is a completion of HTML as a hypermedia, this is its design goal
