It doesn't have to be a debate, everyone can move any one language into the other (JS into HTML, HTML into JS, CSS into JS, etc), as long as they feel that what they write will be something they can reason about later. They should take into account their mindset in 6 months, other people that might be brought on and what their background might be.

The only real issue I see is that if you move HTML into JS, you might make it harder for a pure visual designer to step in and work on HTML/CSS, but outside of that I can't see an issue as long as you keep reasonability of the code in mind. And if you have a good designer, I have a feeling they'll be more than glad to learn how to navigate around Javascript.
