Honest question, how is: el.email = input(props({ type: 'email' })) better or easier than: I think the example needs to be more compelling.
var input = crel('input', {type:'email'});

I assume you mean to compare it to: el.email = (function(){ var input = document.createElement('input'); input.type = "email"; return input; })(); ...or something similar.

Or you could use a templating library, of which there are many and this is one.
