Description
I use the Mustache templating engine with HTML. The HTML Language selection work 98% of the time but it would be great to build on that for my own UDL without having to recreate everything the HTML language does today. If there's a way to use a build-in Language as a template or "inherit" from a built-in, I'm not seeing it.

Determine how a new UDL could reuse an existing built-in language, including what configuration users would need; done means a custom UDL can inherit the relevant HTML behavior without recreating it.
