How do you know that you want to turn every other row blue?

ie: who writes the DOM code and where is it executed?

Isn't this just shifting a responsibility around, but admitting that the
declarative model can't supply this by itself?

How do I tell a browser that every 2nd line should be blue?

I'd prefer to see the declarative language capable of defining this kind of
event.
