Streaming HTML

Type of Change

New Feature Request

Summary

Would like to explore how to provide a streaming API that could also break apart the page at render roots.

So for example a page like this could come out in multiple flushes

<body>
  <my-header></my-header>
  <my-app></my-app>
  <my-footer></my-footer>
</body>

Would flush across those component definitions / boundaries / islands.

Details

To go even further, maybe we could recursively stream nested roots? Like in this example wcc-architecture

Hmm, this thread seems to imply that streaming with DSD is not possible, and that a DOM is needed server side. For the second part, I wonder if wcc (AST parser) is exempt from that classification and maybe we could stream?
