It's not. It's a custom HTML-like syntax with lots of custom and weird rules.

Yep, `lit` is contaminating the browser API with their ideas just because their group of people writes the code for the browsers. They should be competing from the outside. Instead of pushing this kind of apis that only fit their mental models.
