It looks like our draw macro might as well have the + string concatentation included:

  (mac draw body
    (trigger 'body html 
      (+ @body)))
Then we get even shorter:

  (ready
    (draw (input)
          (button "submit"))
    (handler 'button click
      (= said (trigger 'input val))
      (draw (a href '#
              "click here"))
      (handler 'a click
        (draw "you said: " said)))))))

Yeah, these are certainly looking better. The crux is whether these primitives are part of a basis set (and so don't count against the token count), and whether the rest of the framework is similarly terse (no reason it can't be).
