* (B) Dynamically generate markup, rather than building zillions of static files. This means we won't have to increment the format version nearly as often, so deployments won't block on time-consuming whole-instance rebuilds as often, so markup changes get into production faster. This might reduce the need for the above. | * (B) (2?) Dynamically generate markup, rather than building zillions of static files.

This might reduce the need for the above.
