That's an interesting suggestion.
There are some choices.

* which to include, presentation data or presentation logic?

* included file should be also parsed, or not?
  for example, Veocity has both ('#parse()' and '#include()').

* is argument a string, variable or name?
  (id="include:'file.html'" , id="include:filename" or id="include:file.html")

* how to include, insert before the element or replace the element?

sub.html:
  --------------------
  <h1>foo</h1>
  --------------------

main.html
  --------------------
  <div id="include:sub.html">
    foo bar baz
  </div>
  --------------------

choice1: insert before the element
  --------------------
  <h1>foo</h1>
  <div>
    foo bar baz
  </div>
  --------------------

choice2: replace the element
  --------------------
  <h1>foo</h1>
  --------------------


I must examine and determine which is more suitable to Kwartz.
Maybe I have to add :include() statment in intermediate language.
