snak value html is inconsistent in js vs. non-js this causes problems when people want to extract the actual value from the dom, and all the JS dom is not fully initialized when they do, etc. i don't see good enough reason for this html to be different in js.
Checked on current master: The DOM is basically the same with the JS adding another level by initializing the valueview widgets that cannot be simulated in non-JS easily. In any case, people intending to manipulate the DOM or re-use information from the DOM, should simply wait for the entityview to initialize, e.g. by listening to the "create" event on the entityview widget(s). If not, they would just slow down basic page/entity initialization.
