+The html! macro supports a limited subset of the html standard. This macro will happily accept a copy-paste from something like tailwind builder. However, writing HTML by hand is a bit tedious - IDE tools for Rust don't support linting/autocomplete/syntax highlighting. RSX is much more natural for Rust programs and _does_ integrate well with Rust IDE tools.
 
 There is also limited support for dynamic handlers, but it will function similarly to JSX.
 
+You'll want to write RSX where you can, and in a future release we'll have a tool that automatically converts HTML to RSX.

@@ -51,30 +53,55 @@ Each element takes a comma-separated list of expressions to build the node. Roug
 - `CustomTag {}` adds a new child component
 - `{expr}` pastes the `expr` tokens literally. They must be IntoCtx<Vnode> to work properly
 
-Lists must include commas, much like how struct definitions work.
+Commas are entirely optional, but might be useful to delineate between elements and attributes.
+
+The `render` function provides an **extremely efficient** allocator for VNodes and text, so try not to use the `format!` macro in your components. Rust's default `ToString` methods pass through the global allocator, but all text in components is allocated inside a manually-managed Bump arena.
