It would probably hamper load times. I bet it could be done more efficiently in Lua, but we should avoid Lua where possible. It's a fad, as far as I'm concerned. If he imagines it would work in the way that I imagine it would, then the html would still be what we use, it would just be built into the template and filled out with fields and variables instead of writing it right into the html (same as everything else). The major difference being that he wants to use dpl for release dates, which would definitely be a load issue.
