AIUI:

1. It starts out as ordinary HTML with no special non-standard tags or 
anything. But it might use id and class attributes to mean certain things.

2. In D, that HTML is loaded and parsed into an HTML DOM.

3. In D, the data is filled into the HTML DOM. Sometimes this might involve 
a amall amount of adding HTML tags/attributes or other weird tweaking if 
necessary.

4. The new HTML DOM is written out as straight HTML.

Basically just like DHTML, except on the server and using D.
