Convert shiny.tag/shiny.tag.list objects to components?

[cpsievert]

It'd be cool if users could reuse their shiny UIs for a dash application, and more generally, insert shiny.tag/shiny.tag.list objects (from htmltools) inside their dash layout.

Since dash doesn't (yet) support arbitrary HTML, perhaps we could try to support a subset of these objects (i.e., everything but htmltools::HTML()), by translating each tag to a component.

As a side note, I wonder what shiny/htmltools does to prevent cross-side scripting (as discussed here)

Proof-of-concept in #7

This is not part of the current feature roadmap; closing for now.
