Side note, what are you using in the browser to transform DITA XML into
HTML? Some library? Your own extension of some kind?

"... implemented a Single Page App that transforms DITA to HTML in the
browser"
================
I use the XSLT processor that is in the browser. That means I'm stuck with XSLT 1.something or other... See this for more info: https://www.w3schools.com/xml/xsl_client.asp
Michael Kay offered an open sourced lib that implements SAX in JS, but I ran into some memory management issue that I can't exactly recall any more. Dr. Kay said that since it was open source, no fixes... He went on to make a commercial version. I'm sure it's quite good.Â

Beyond the basic transform, the app manages links, conrefs, search, and a few other things that turn out not to be 100% obvious. You can see it in action here:
